well it currently looks that the huge blob of storms will mostly slide south of port huron. ... and right at me in toledo

but, the prevailing gradient winds will be blocked by the storms. prolly very light winds, light rain, .......... no report on the black biting flys, for the start tomorrow. drifter!

..... pass the smoked oyster please.

they are sailing along nicely. keeping the boat racing at night is an art form. 250 boats sailing from one end to the other on lake huron
