Weather: Sunny and mild. Winds: Variable. Seas: Less than 1ft
Nice day though winds were finicky. 75nm in 10hrs-ish. Motored then motor-sailed then sailed making 6.5 to 9kts. Motored through the SE corner of Wisconsin and the winds picked back up and we made 6.5-7.5kts and a sunset sail into Waukegan.
Kelly saw 419ft on the depth. Somewhere there is supposed to be a 925ft depth....
We had an adventure when the screacher mis-furled in stronger winds, twisting on itself. So, we dropped the sail and stuffed it into the saloon via the hatch. Kelly had never seen anything like this and wondered WTF? When the winds died in Wisconsin, we brought it back out, raised and untangled it. Good thing too as the winds picked up. The screacher is good for another 2kts and without it, we probably would have entered Waukegan in the dark.
Kelly and the fly phenomenon. From where, in the middle of the lake, do these flies come? I don't know. But Kelly thinks it is right out of a horror movie and spent a good portion of the time we motored, spreading fly guts and blood over the boat with a swatter.
