  • Waves 5 feet today

    Posted on August 24th, 2008 cwmoore No comments

    Teh lake Michigan waves were 5′ today and SAM lasted about 15 minutes before wanting to turn back.  We were accompanied by Artha and Bill who own a Seaward 23.  This is the day we had been waiting for  with 10 – 20 kt winds from the north.  Unfortunately the wind was up long enough to kick up some of the famous LM waves that are steep and have a short period.  About every 10th wave was much bigger than the others and we shipped some water for the first time.  We ate lunch with them on-board Inspiration and had a good time.

    Later I did a period of meditation and SAM did some bible studies and we drove home tonight instead of in the morning.  It was a perfect day except for the waves.
