Day 32, September 3, 2009
Beautiful sunny days of very little wind and warm sunshine, flat water. Came into Muskegon. It seemed a bigger place and we anchored on the inland lake just through the access waterway. On passing through the waterway we saw an old coast guard boat and submarine permanently moored there as part of a museum. John and Paul decided to go and have a look while I and Sue just chilled out at anchor! They found the submarine interesting but wondered how on earth those poor guys didn't go crazy with claustrophobia - 72 guys living in such a small space.
It was a pretty good anchorage except we must have been close to one of the access ramps where the fishermen put their boats in the water. They kept whizzing past us as they headed out on the lake, coming home very late at night. And we were woken early in the morning again as they whizzed past us. Lumpy!!! I must admit that we didn't feel all that sympathetic the next morning as they sat in the channel with their lines out. One good turn deserves another, I didn't slow down as I passed by their fishing lines at Periwinkle's ramming speed of 5 knots!!!
