Rogers City Marina To Alpena, MI

July 2, 2011

Left Rogers City dock @ 0740 this morning.  Once again, we had light winds or calms so we had to motor all the way.  Towards the later part of the afternoon the wind shifted to the NW but, by then, it was too late to think about raising all the sails.  We were secure at the dock @ 1715 hrs.
Today we found out why so many of the boats on the Lakes have enclosed cockpits - the insects and flies are something to behold.  We are hitting waves of them.  We have to keep on long pants so they can't bite through.  We've been in many buggy places in our travels but the Lakes takes the prize.
