I went to get my new, old boat s/v Bella, a 1975 Albin Vega and sailed her from Milwaukee home to Muskegon. 70 miles or so of open water, great weather with a little rain when we reached Michigan. I had a sailor friend for crew and no engine because the 40 year old starter decided to give up last week.

Here is a peaceful moment sunset, halfway across with no land in sight:

Nice!

Looks like some sweet sailing.  Sounds like a good trip.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.  -Mark Twain
