September 24, 2011 We finally left South Haven, MI after 2 days of waiting for calm water. We left yesterday at about 11AM and arrived in New Buffalo, MI about 2 hours later. The 1st half of our trip was on calm water, but the last half was a bit "choppy" and we were glad to call it a day after 43 miles.
We checked out New Buffalo and had a hamburger at Redamaks (famous place in this area). We moored at the Municipal Marina even though it was closed for the season (so we had no electricity or water). It worked out just fine - the rates were good!
Today we arrived in Chicago at 12:30PM after a 2 hour cruise across Lake Michigan. What an awesome sight - the skyline appearing on the horizon and getting larger as we got closer. We docked the boat and took a long walking tour which included some of Downtown and the Navy Pier. We plan to stay here 2 nights before moving on. There is so much to see and do.
