Weather: Changing. Winds: N, 10-15. Waves 4-5 feet.
Fuggly IMHO. Watched the marina neighbors depart only to return within an hour with a jumped steering cable. They reported tough conditions outside the breakwater. Valor.
I spent part of the day assisting in the repair. Turns out, the couple had recently purchased the sailboat in Muskegon (I think) and were bringing her around to Port Huron area. He was a power boater, she was the one who took the sailing lessons. Interesting dynamic as he seemed in charge...more encounters with them over the next couple days.
Spent the day touring more of the town, including Jameport Brewing. Went into the basement and met the brewmaster and complemented him on his beers. We talked for a bit and he gave me a short tour!
Weather broke and it became sunny in the afternoon. Took Kelly on a stroll to the Lake Michigan beach. Lots of people playing in the water and jumping off the north breakwater. School must be out!
A band was playing in the park that evening. Listened while walking the dogs. Other people had there dogs and all the dogs wanted to do was bark, so we hung out at a distance. The band played various things then broke into The Victors. We perked up! Then they ruined the moment with The MSU Fight Song. The made us laugh next when they played On Wisconsin. Incredulous at first, we listened to them:
On Wisconsin
On Wisconsin
We don't know the words....
OK, ok, they won us over.
