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.
