STAYING PUT

Winds were up and storms started in the early morning hours so we stayed put today.  As mentioned yesterday, we saw this coming and thought a full day in port sounded like a good idea anyhow.

Wildlife sightings in the last 24 hours include 2 birds that if we have identified them correctly don't normally migrate through here.  We think we know what they are but thought we'd let Ms. Noonan's class try to identify them first.  There were these cool geese...

and a little heron...

To illustrate why we stuck around here today, I thought I'd try a little video.

It wasn't storms keeping us off the lake as much as the wind.  Here is a cool shot of John walking the beach into the fog through sand that was carved out by waves.

  

We met some fellow Loopers, Byron & Cynthia Miller on Bright Angel from Grand Haven, MI with their dog Toots.  Enjoyed a nice chat with them when we bumped into them at the wine store.  Hope to see more of them as we both head South.

We are heading out for dinner and to a pub for the Packer game.  GO PACK GO!
