Leftovers

The remnant of Ike appears to be making its way into the Midwest. The southern Lake Michigan buoy indicates a steady 24kts, gusting to 28kts, out of the NW. Wave height is already 7.9ft, which means that our marina is going to be getting sloppy. I was at the boat earlier today to check lines and secure chafe protection. Ariel was doing fine then, there wasn't much slop. Hopefully she'll be fine overnight. This time of year always brings extra anxiety about the boat as the northwesterly winds set in and boisterous waves roll down the channel.

Sleep tight, girl.
