At least you weren't on the head at the time.

Ya think MI price of gas (I saw $2.09 in Dundee on Thur.) had somthin do do
with the lack of traffic?

It's pouring buckets here now, A T-storm, no wind though.

We fortunately didn't have any riff-raff. The Governor's Cup was on
Saturday, and about the on;y worthwhile reportable event was that I had
words with one of the racers when he and a friend decided to move our boat
forward on the dock without checking to see if we were aboard. Mr Sails was
cleaning the bilge and I was making up berths when all of a sudden there's
someone pn our boat..I quickly popped out the companionway and asked him
what the heck he thought he was doing. He said he was moving our boat and
he ddn't know anyone was aboard. All our hatches were open, the
companionway was open...and he didn't hail. I told him he was pretty rude
for coming aboard without permission and next time to hail or knock or
something. He wasn't from our yacht club, so I expect they don't teach
manners wherever he elarned to sail. The rest of the weekend was grey.
Sunday was really light winds...we stuck the chute up...Today was much
better. We've had the weirdest run of East winds this year. It blew about
5=8 today but there was no power behind the wind at all. And the waves were
all running backward toward Wisconsin. A lot more wind on Muskegon Lake
when we came back in, so tacked around in there for awhile until it started
to rain. Less traffic going home than on a normal weekend. I think
everyone stayed home because of the weather. Suited us fine. Dodging
drunks in motor boats is never fun. Did see one a-hole in a motorboat take
on the CG, though. I was at the helm entering the harbor seawall area from
the big lake alongside a CG bouy tender. This hoo-haw came flying through,
like they usually do and the CG vessel gave them 5 blasts...they slowed down
and were doing 5 K at the channel markers....but they were still behind the
tender and I don't think they knew it was a CG vessel. About 100 ft from
the end of the channel, they revved up and blasted past the tender and got 6
blasts and 2 coasties came running out, one with a clipboard frantically
writing down his reg. #'s. Hope they sent him a ticket.
