Beaver Island, MI To Washington Island,WI

We are back in Wisconsin!!! We stayed at Beaver Island Sunday and Monday. We went for a walk and found a small church and went to mass, then we walked over to see the lighthouse on the island. On our way back we stopped at a maritime Museum, that had an old fish tug that we could board. Really neat and did take pictures. We also walked a few miles to find one of the airports on the island, they have 2 airports and a college, and a school for 1-12 grades. We did not find the airport as it was
behind some trees, I guess it could not have been very big. We departed Beaver Island this morning at 6:20, the first hour was choppy and some waves splashing over the bow. The next 9 hours were 3-5 ft. waves on the port stern quarter. Not the best cruising day, but we made it safe and sound. Arrived at Washington Island to anchor at 4:45. Sunny, high of 65, and winds 23 mph.
