Perfect Timing left the Grand Haven pierhead at 8:00 today, Oct. 5. We had a weather window today with 5-7' seas yesterday and 10-14' seas predicted for tomorrow night. Leaving, we had 4-6' rollers which were no problem for us. Seas subsided to 1-3's at the half-way point, and we cruised past the beautiful Chicago skyline on flat seas and with sunny skies six hours after departure. As often happens in the weeks before a major adventure, roadblocks kept popping up for us before we left. However, we figured out a way to pull the lines. We felt we deserved it. After all, October 5 is our anniversary! Our friend, Russ Sauer, joined us in our slip at Hammond Marina after flying in from Fort Myers. After dinner at the nearby casino, we hit the sack early.
