The Journey of "Quiet Island"

 

We left Frankfort at sunrise, and this time, had to use the radar to get OUT of the harbor. But after an hour, it burned off, and the wind picked up. We set our course to the wind, trimmed the sails, then looked at the chart to see where this heading would have us make landfall in Wisconsin.

Sheboygan, Wisconsin would be our destination. It was a good crossing, with flat seas and a 20 knot west wind, we were on the opposite shore before sunset.
