Captain Mike at the helm for the last time in 2010.
A warm fall weekend gave us the opportunity that we were looking for... a chance to get out on the lake before putting Therapy away for the winter. Since the temperature was above 80 degrees, Connie and I headed out toward Kelley's Island for the weekend. As we usually do, we anchored on the north side of the island, a place normally crowded with boats. This weekend however, gave us the lake to ourselves. The quiet stillness of the north bay of Kelley's Island at dawn is special. Nothing moves except the occasional gull flying overhead or an island dog roaming the shoreline. The summer inhabitants of the island have packed their things and moved back to the mainland.
Besides enjoying one last summer weekend on the water, we also used this time to pull the sails down, remove the dodger and bimini, and otherwise decommission the boat.
