This weekend is going to be our last on the big lake till next season since Seapickle is scheduled to be pulled out of the water for winter storage this Thursday. Flat calm days on Lake Michigan are hard to come by, but to have three consecutive days of glass flat water is really rare! Three perfect days is exactly what we had, and we made the best of them!

| Meeting Pier Pressure at the beac |
Shortly after we raft up with Ron, Debbie and Jacob on Pier Pressure, Greg and friends on Not Now arrive for a port side raft up!

| Rafting up with Not Now and Pier Pressure |
 |
| This sure beats going in the cold water to get from boat to boat |
With everyone here it is time to start our nightly potluck style dinners at the beach!
 |
| Ben fires up the grill for some steaks |
 |
| Dana heating the pulled pork for sandwiches |
 |
| Beautiful sunset |
 |
| Can you believe we had three days like this |
 |
| Hey Greg are those Milano cookies in your hand? |
Saturday
I was not always a morning person, but when we stay at the beach I am up with the sun! It's hard to not be a morning person when you are greeted with a sun rise like this. Dana on the other hand still likes to sleep as long as she can.
Also up with the sun was the Pier Pressure crew who had a quick cup of coffee and then departed to take Jacob to band camp
 |
| Early morning departure |
After Pier Pressure left we had a quick breakfast and decided to check out some of the trails that wind through the dunes behind our camp. We spent the next couple of hours hiking through some beautiful nature trails, and even came across a snake sunning itself in the middle of a path!
We decided it would be a nice day to visit Ben's cousin Mike and his family aprox. 20 miles down the shore in Long Beach Indiana. Pier Pressure returned just in time to help us shove off.
 |
| Save our spot for us! |
We had a great leisurely cruise down the shore to Long Beach! We slowed down around Michigan City to watch a sailboat regatta for a few minutes, then continued on to meet Mike and Nora on the beach.
