Summer Cruise 2011

We started on our summer cruise late this year due to all kinds of commitments and the weather.  All that notwithstanding, we had a late launch this year and I needed a new rode for the intended cruising ground.  Our route this year was foreshortened due to expeced weather that actually materialized:  Saugatuck – Muskegon Lake (A) – Pentwater (A) – Manistee (S) – Frankfort (S) – Pentwater (A) – Saugatuck.  Of course the A means anchored and the S means slip.  We had approximately 50 hours on the engine Hobbs meter for total time of motoring this trip.  Just for the record the Hobbs Meter reads 1139.7 as of  9/13/11.  I will copy the trip log here from time to time until it is complete.  I will also add anecdotes as appropriate so check back for trip details.
