- Leaving our home port to start our adventure of sailing the world.
From crossing Lake Michigan and gorgeous sunsets to a broken alternator and falling into the lake!

Thanks for the ride
Glad you are joining us.
Lake Michigan is NO JOKE. I live in a small town off the Lake Michigan and I'm friends with the Coast Guard Captain... I hear horror stories. Be safe.
@@degarmo187 so true! It can be crazy out there.
I'm glad this popped up in my feed, as a Michigander myself it's great to see you embarking on this adventure from a start on the lakes!
So glad to have you along on our journey. We are so enjoying exploring the lakes. We are almost to Lake Erie.
Enjoyed your trip. We did a similar trip on a Tartan 27 in 1972 with another couple, going from our anchorage in Little Sturgeon, just north of Green Bay and spending the first night on Beaver island and then on to Mackinac Island. Many problems over the week that we had solve for the one week vacation, and we still tell stories about that trip today with our friends. No GPS, only radio direction finder and dead reconning with our compass. Increasing wind and waves on the trip over and lots of fog on the return trip. Brings back many memories.
Thank you for watching. The sailing life is definitely one of story making. Lots of unexpected twists and turns.
I love Lake Michigan, so many places to explore. As a Lake Superior sailor…Lake Michigan has quite a bit more habitation and is significantly warmer than Superior. They are two closeby but quite different places
We are so sad we are not going to have time to explore Lake Superior. We tried to fit it in June but the weather did not cooperate.
@@SailingOnward Hopefully you can get up there another season! I would suggest however July and August. June can still be in the mid 40's temp wise well into June, especially east of the Keewenaw. However once you're there, you'll be glad you made the trip!: czcams.com/video/lVGlk0QwClA/video.htmlsi=V_NJvshOCdAjxp9e
Best of luck to you on your journey , very nice video...

Wow, I’m so glad this popped up in my feed. This video is great and the music paired so well. I love what y’all are doing with this adventure. I can’t wait to see more.
Thank you so much. It makes us feel so good to hear this. So happy to have you joining us on our journey.
Not gonna lie im a little bit jealous! Awesome video. Be safe out there and most importantly have fun!!!
Thanks Todd
Glad someone is enjoying the videos
We’re having a blast!
I loved this video! ❤
I'm so glad!
So excited to watch the rest of your journey!
We are so excited to have you with us.
Live in Michigan ❤
Ludington has the best beach, in my opinion.
Saugatuck was voting the best beach in travel magazines.
Love the mitten ❤❤❤
We were so busy we didn’t even get to check out the beach. Wish we would have.
Great video. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Glad you liked it and thank you for joining us.
I am so excited for your journey!! Hi Anna!!!
Thank you! Excited for you to be following along. Can’t wait to hear about your next adventure.
Queens cup race every year South Shore yacht club been there done that! Fair sky's and following seas.
You raced in the Queens cup! That is super cool.
Welcome to Lake MI's sunset shore line
Thank you. Glad to have been there. So amazing. We are on the other side of Michigan now.
Watch our latest video for some footage of those incredible sunsets.
Always chase ground when having charging issues....if altenator and regulator is ruled out it is almost always ground connections
Thank you for the tip. Alternator is fixed now but in the future that information could be very helpful.
Thank you for watching!
Proof that Algorithms are real, your channel just popped up on my suggested videos. Looking forward to following your adventure from my boat at Reefpoint. Have fun guys
@@daneulekowski929 Too cool! Happy to have an old neighbor watching our adventure. Thank you!
I guess ill be your 189th subscriber. I am about to do the same as you except a different starting point... I'd wish you good luck, but I prefer to encourage you to make your own luck!
@@pontoonrob7948 Thank you! Where are you starting from?
see you on Lake Erie some day soon
We are here. We stayed at Geneva State Park last night. Where are you?
Thank you for a great video, but I can't believe you dragged your dingy all that way
Why not?
We have to take the dog to shore twice a day and we anchor out most of the time so we need it accessible. Our dinghy is named Idaho and she is a tough old survivor.
how long is your boat ??
36’ Catalina
@@SailingOnward beauitful
@@johnfetzer9637 thank you!
Hey flat earthers! Why couldn’t they just see the land all the time?
@@andyblanzy2693 Lake Michigan is huge!
