We stopped by the Yacht club a few weeks ago to check on a few things. on our way there we drove by the big lake to see how it was looking, we had driven by it in December and there were huge ice burgs every where...but it looks like they are finely starting to melt.
This is the mouth of the Muskegon channel
Pier Marquette Park...looking southward toward Grand Haven.
Kyla is looking forward to the spring...she is like her mom and doesn't like the cold weather.
We have figured out that Kyla has not enjoyed the sailboat as much as we thought she did....she don't like it when it heel a lot, and it freaked her out when I would have to go up on deck and raise the jib & main sail....so this year we are installing a roller furling and a main sail raising system...where all the lines run to the cockpit and I won't have to go up on the deck.....
We are looking forward to sailing this season...in hopes that Kyla will start enjoying it a lot better.......At the end of the season last year we started giving her jobs to do ...and it started taking her mind off the fact that we were heeling and she actually started enjoying it...so we think there might be hope for her yet.....
This is a pic we took last year right before a storm.....It is so cool to see a storm come up on the big lake, and watch it crash up over the break wall....
we start our Seamanship class in a few weeks, and should have our boat ( just add water) in the water in about 4 to 6 weeks....CAN'T WAIT !!!!
