Sheboygen to Milwaukee - Sept. 24

Up at 6 am for another long walk along the beautiful Sheboygan lakeshore. The rising sun is orange hot and it is already 67 degrees. Even at this early hour and late into the night, the harbor is lined with people fishing from the docks, small boats and fishing charter boats. I am told by one Captain that the salmon fishing is great on the WI rivers leading to Lake Michigan as the older fish swim upriver to spawn. I have seen 3 foot salmon leaping out of the water teasing all to catch it.
We left port at 8:30 am with the plan to go to Milwaukee 54 miles away. We had light S winds with gentle 2-3 foot gentle rollers for a change. We checked into the McKinley Marina and got diesel fuel for $4.21/ gal which even had a bonus of a free pump-out. Since there are larger grocery stores here, we decided to defrost the fridge so that we could load up. We walked about 1 ½ miles to the Pick ‘n Save and had to take a taxi back with all the loot. For the past 3 weeks, we have only gone out to eat 2x, bought fresh fish twice and basically lived off our provisions which are stacked in every nook and cranny as well as in the 18x27” fridge with a 12x12” freezer.
After a very late dinner, we were still able to sit up on the flybridge and enjoy the cityscape and harbor lights on this mild autumn night.
