Missed a couple of days .. sketchy internet, but

I have internet this morning so here goes;

We are at the end of Long Point, waiting to cross.
We had to move the baot at 1:00 am this morning becaue we were in too shallow and the winds were pushing us on shore. We started up and moved around to the back side of the island. We thought we were hitting something.. turns out we forgot to pull up the swim ladder. By morning [6 am] we were sure we made a good choice... the winds were up and waves higher. It would have pushed right up the creek , so to speak. We started out at 7 am and as we rounded the point some old windsurfer guy - gray hair was ripping across from island to island.

We managed to get about 2 miles offshore but the waves were topping at 8 feet out of the southeast with winds strong enough to make our windgen sound like a banshee. [Wind reader is on the wast - not connected cuz its lying down] The weather guy [ out of Rochester - the ONLY weather we could get] said mid-lake was SSE14 miles/hr. That would be on our nose. Not good for crosssing. So we wait - I'm ok with rain [or snow] just not bad wind/waves. They elephants were having a great dance by the time we got back to shelter!
It's fairly calm in this area, I can see the wind blasting the tops of the trees, so when I can get good intel, we'll consider starting out again. We are discussing options, and doing little chores while we wait. Not sure how long I can keep this internet going, so ttly sometime.
