Sailing Lake Michigan with a small craft advisory in effect due to wave heights. Waves were in the 4-5 foot range with the occasional 6 footer, but the wave period was greater than the wave height so it was not a problem.

14-July-2019 – Light winds on Lake Michigan for a Sunday sail

We had a pleasant afternoon sail on Lake Michigan with light winds ranging from 6 to 10 knots.

We also replaced the jib cars. The one on the port side broke the prior week when a weld failed. The style jib cars used on our 52 year boat are not available so some of the guys in our shop at work were able to duplicate them.
