Mary & Emery's Blog

This will be the fourth consecutive summer that we have our boat, The Emerys, on Lake Michigan. Our blog contains pictures and text about the happenings that we experience on the Lake and in the numerous ports that we visit. Much of this summer will center on Sturgeon Bay, WI and Frankfort, MI. Enjoy!

Surrounded by Chicago-to-Mackinac Sailboats




Hi all - Mark here (the FSIL-type guy). Attached are a few shots of the boats (not overly great - it was choppy). Click on the photos to enlarge them and get a better view of the sailboats. As we left our lunch in Leland, I think I was at the helm and started seeing a few specks on the horizon. As we got closer, the specks got bigger and there seemed to be more of them. Then, of course, we realized what we were in the middle of and that we were going to be surrounded for the next hour or so. But I'm happy to report that all of the expert captains on board did a superb job of weaving in and out of traffic. At least on our part, the historical, tenuous relationship between power and sail is no better/no worse because of The Emerys.
