Kauwanee, WI, city wall – Sheboygeon, WI, – Oct 7, 2021
It’s a 5 hour run south to Sheboygeon, WI. Again getting an early start we head out the channel again with those pesky easterlies on our beam. We are met with some heavier winds than yesterday but Heliopause can handle them. Me not so much. A lot of time was spent with my eyes closed on the couch in a prone state. Ralph factor 7. It’s has become a new call sign for how bad the seasickness is.
The trip south is open water again about 10 miles offshore. There isn’t much story to tell about this trip as it is routine with the open waters of Lake Michigan.
Rounding the harbour of Sheboygeon there is an open area for anchoring but at this point we are just going to the marina. The winds have picked up and the fog is rolling in and rain predicted. The marina finds us our slip.
We decided to head into the harbour boardwalk where the entire area has been upgraded. Lake Michigan is still high and the docks that normally are available for docking are underwater. There are no docking signs on both the north and south side of the harbour. We find a quaint store and pick up some extra tasties for our pantry. Fresh soup ready for a cold night, which we have had a couple here and there.
Walking around town in the quaint streets with not many people was a treat. It was drizzling by now but we managed to wander and explore. Eventually, we head back to the marina.
This marina is by far the best marina we have ever seen. Not only did it have a 60 ft dock for HP, 50 amp power, it was clean, had a great view, a convenience store, restrooms, laundry facilities. You name it, it is here. I did do laundry to catch up. As the rain started we headed out to the heated pool and spa. No one was there. So we changed in the heated separate change rooms, jumped in the warm pool and swam laps and had some fun for over an hour. Then the hot tub awaited. We stayed in there longer than we probably should have. It was rejuvenating though with all the logistics, planning, ups and downs all behind us.
By this point it is dinner so off to relax, grab a sundowner and wait out the rain.
