Wind & Waves


We went out fishing one day trolling the coastline south of Sturgeon Bay -- over half way to Green Bay. We didn't have any luck because fishing has slowed down with the cold fronts and wind.
Jim took this picture over on the Lake Michigan side of Door county peninsula on a typical windy day here. The waves were 7 and 8 footers. It was perfectly sunny a few miles inland but here the fog, haze, mist rolled in along the shoreline. The wind somehow whips it up and blows it ashore.
Labor Day weekend at the campground was very busy even though we had 4 inches of rain between Wednesday and Thursday. The boat was sitting in a newly created lake and almost started to float in the field where we store it. It was a miracle that by Friday afternoon most of the water had soaked into the ground. The ground here is a thin layer of soil covering a very porous limestone rock so it filters through pretty quickly.
Leaves are starting to change, fall is in the air and we are getting the itch to head south. We will stay here until around the 13th of October and then make a beeline south.
