We're off on the journey!

At 8:05 this morning Putz'n Around left Sturgeon Bay and into Lake Michigan heading South!  We set a course on the Auto Pilot for 4 miles off Rawley Point this was approximately 1/2way to Port Washington, WI.  Next order of business was Brigitte making us a well desirved Bloody in honor of  first Crews ( Bill Matthews, Brigitte and I) first leg of the great adventure,  We Ran about 16 mph in 1-3 ft seas.  At Rawley point we adjust the  course a little SW and the seas flattened to 1-2 '.  At just seven hours and 110 miles latter we pulled into the Port Washington Municipal Marine and topped off  our tank to see what this girl burns, which turned out to be 146 gallons, you do the math. Tomorrow will back down the RPM a tad!  Took a walk through the little town of Port Washington and strangely ended up at a Bar.  Gee a Bar in WI,  go figure.  Had some bar food apps.

I will digress, prior to the trip We had some matching Tee Shirts made with the map on the back and the name of the boat plus either Captain, First Mate, or crew on the front.  As married couples do Brigitte was sure I had not given her the First Mate shirt and I being right said I had not and she misplaced it. Back to the Bar----as we were recapped the day and looking at Bill we discovered he was wearing the first Mates woman's shirt!  Didn't look half bad!

I will sign off for now as Brigitte is preparing scallops and shrimp in home made Marinara sauce and caprese salad.  Had a un-believable first day!  Off in the AM for Chicago!

Cheers!
