Crossing the lake from St. Joseph to the Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, Illinois, was to be our next-to-last-adventure on the lake. We had seas and wind first out of the SSE 10-15, then from the South at 10-15, then a backing to the North at 15-20, gusts to 25, then variable out of the West.
The winds began to calm as we had the marina is good view.
Inside the marina we tied up, bow out, in front of the white van on the seawall.
Our plans, to restock our supplies, and, the winds kept us at NTC. Outside the winds are from the North and Northwest at 20-30kts. We stay put.
We had morning colors, and taps each day. One morning the deer came through the parking lot, one stopped at the stop sign. The next day local staff came jogging thru.
We were to reprovision, obtained a new ID for Bonnie, picked up some cash, ready to leave.
The stay at NTC was a very good. The marina was comfortable and had all we needed, power and water, we had the commissary store, the package store, a rental car, hair cuts for all, a movie, shopping centers . . . very fine!
