Not so fun ferry ride

August 22 – No automated phone calls!  We had verified with Enterprise that if the ferry was cancelled again that we could drive the car (5 hours) back to Muskegon.  Luckily that didn’t happen.

We leisurely enjoyed our breakfast since we didn’t have to leave until 11, but we did leav

e sooner.  There was some concern that they’d have 2 days of passengers today and we wanted to board early to sit where we wanted.  Bill dropped me off with the check bags and he parked the rental car.  The wait was relatively short and today we were told the waves were 4-6 feet.  Well, I didn’t do too well with the crossing.  As soon as we left the channel the water got rough and the crew started delivering pills, ginger candy, ginger ale and whatever else they had for motion sickness.  Bill said he saw several get sick.  They left bags at each table if they were needed.  People could barely walk due to the waves.  I took forever going to the bathroom and stopped twice on the way back.  At least I never threw up but I sure thought I was going to.  I was so glad when we got to the channel and it became smooth sailing.  It’s 2 ½ hours across.

It took no time to get our luggage and head towards the RV park.  The plan was to do shopping today if we got home yesterday, so we stopped at Meijers on the way to at least get some fresh veggies and fruit.  I decided to go with rotisserie chicken for dinner, with steamed broccoli and store potato salad.

Molly was very happy to see us and was fine.  We put everything away and I did 3 loads of laundry to catch up before they empty our tanks tomorrow.  I was exhausted, I think from the stress of maybe getting sick on the boat.  We were both ready to be back on our own bed!
