Day 399-400 August 26-27 Yacht Basin Marina Holland MI

Looks like a wonderful sunny day in Michigan......pink and blue jobs.....Garmin.....and Michigan cousins visiting today.....


Mr. Sun
 
 
 
 
Phil from Garmin comes to FIX the auto-pilot.....the pump is leaking fluids and it needs to be cleaned with new fittings and there is an improper thread compound plus a few other things....but that's the simple story....
When it comes time for the sea trial......that is where we go out in Lake Macatawa and make circles.......the thunderstorm with lighting arrives....Phil will be back in the morning to finish the job.....
 

 
 
 
During this thunderstorm....Tom and Sandy arrive for their visit.  We are at the end of C Dock so wait or you will get wet.....
 
 
Itty Bitty Bar.....the local hangout
 
 
 
And our place for dinner
 
Today is sunny but cool from the storm we had yesterday.  Wind is down so we will conduct the sea trial and make sure the auto-pilot is working......
 
 
Out we go into Lake Macatawa
 
 
No boat traffic so we can make our circles here
 
 
Sandy and Tom join us
 
 
Captain and Phil
 
 
Saddi is right in the middle of the action
 
 
Everything works......the Auto-pilot is fixed
 
 
Our neighbors Island Girl is the committee boat for the sailboat races
 
 
Sailboats from our marina going out to race this afternoon
 
We are ready to leave tomorrow morning and so are our friends......Boats are fixed and its time to head south.  Weather looks good for tomorrow.  This being Labor Day Weekend we were not able to find a slip in Saugatuck or South Haven so we are off to Benton Harbor.......
