After a few hours the winds diminished and we had to start motoring. Then the forecasted drizzle also came. Not the most glorious experience, but easily bearable with the autopilot and the cockpit enclosure which keeps the rain and most wind off us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"1500\" src=\"http:\/\/test1.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/img_3044.jpg?w=225\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-185\" srcset=\"http:\/\/test1.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/img_3044.jpg 1124w, http:\/\/test1.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/img_3044-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/test1.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/img_3044-767x1024.jpg 767w, http:\/\/test1.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/img_3044-768x1025.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Grey, wet and cool is how we would describe this afternoon\u2019s weather. Our friend Bobby turned us onto dehydrated meals, and we enjoyed the beef stew with quesadillas Anne made. It sure was nice to have an easy, warm dinner on a day like today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tonight, we anchored off Alpena with the heat on and kicked back.
