9 inches June 17


We left Black River Harbor heading for Octonogon, MI and were able to sail in W winds arriving at the Marina at 1400.  It was rainy with light fog and cool temperatures.  Octonogon has a well dredged deep channel until you get to the Marina.  It was a challenge with the wind blowing us on the dock and very shallow water.  At one point we had 9 inches below our keel and churning up mud before we were able to dock.  The docks were very high and we got creative with the fenders.  Due to the wind conditions and the shallow depths we chose to stay at the gas dock but had to sacrifice power.  But we were able to take showers, yah!  Another plus, no flies and no mosquitoes.  Life is good.
