Big Water out of Au Gres

Posted by Greybeard on Sep 27th, 2009 in Local, News and weather | Comments Off

On Friday we rode with the neighbors to take their big SeaRay back down to Bay City for winter storage.  The forcast was 2 t0 3 feet waves early, rising to 3 to 5,  then 4 to 6 feet,  coming out of the north east.   We ran down in following waves that probably averaged out to be around 4 to 5 footers,  cruising at 22 to 25 mph.   It wasn’t a bad trip,  that big SeaRay handled the waves very nicely.  I did make note though,  that on the entire trip (maybe 20 miles),  we didn’t see another boat on the water until we got near the Saginaw River,  and gave silent thanks that we weren’t in my 25 footer.

We had lunch at O’Hare’s Bar and Grill in Bay City,   walking distance from the docks.    I’ll put O’hare’s down as highly recommended,   just be sure you’re hungry,  they don’t skimp on portions. :-)
