Скачать или смотреть Our MAIDEN VOYAGE!! Put to the test in GRAND TRAVERSE BAY!

We went to sailing school in February so that we could rent a sailboat and here we are, on our maiden voyage! We're putting our skills to the test in Grand Traverse Bay, Michigan!

We spent 5 days on a beautiful 31 ft Marlow Hunter. We sailed out of Great Lakes Sailing Co. at Centerpoint Marina in Traverse City.

In this video:
We get oriented to the boat.
Pull out of the marina, and sail for 7 hours to Ingalls Bay where we anchored out off the beach.
We visit Cat Head Bay! Then head over to Northport for some tacos and cocktails! Anchored in Northport Harbor Marina.
Rain sailing! We sail through several hours of rain then hook up to a mooring ball in Omena Bay.
The sun is out and we set out for Power Island! But first, a pit stop in Suttons Bay for lunch!
We had a rough night our last night. But that didn’t dampen our enjoyment! We had a magical trip!!
