Taas on
mahdollista lainata internettia erikois WIFI antennini avulla.
8/15/2013 olin
Pentwater MI:ssa ankurissa, 8/16 Port Sheldon MI:ssa ankurissa ja nyt olen
ankurissa Old Buffalo MI:n ja Michigan City:n valilla. Avain kivenheiton paassa
on jallen yksi atomivoimalan nakoinen laitos. Jees, kylla vahan pelottaa.
Tasta voisi
periaatteessa ajella jo Chicagon ensimmaiselle sululle mutta kun en halua
lahtea joelle tayttamatta seka vesi-, diesel- etta bensatankit ja tyhjentamatta
holding tankkia on poikettava yhdeksi yoksi johonkin marinaan. Chicagossa
diesel on taalan kalliimpaa kuin naissa Michiganin satamissa. Satama on tarpeen
myos siksi, etta ihan Illinois joen alussa on pari rautatiesiltaa, joita ei enaan
avata. Matalin on 17 jalkaa ja seuraava 19 jalkaa. On laskettava masto, etta
mahdun alta. Onneksi vesi on pari jalkaa alempana joten pitaisi selvita alta.
Vahan jannittaa
nuo sulut kun vene on niissa kiinnitettava seka keulasta etta perasta
lakeutuvaan/nousevaan pollariin. Yhden miehen miehistolle voi tulla kiire.
Again it is possible to borrow Internet using my special Wi-Fi antenna.
8/15/2013 I was anchored in Pentwater, MI, 8/16 Port Sheldon, MI anchored, and now I am anchored between Old Buffalo and Michigan City. Only the stone's throw is again something that looks like a nuclear power station; yes, I feel a little bit scared.
In principle from here you could already sail to Chicago's first lock but I don't want to go to the River without filling my water, diesel, and gasoline tanks, and without emptying my holding tank. I have to stay one night in some marina. In Chicago diesel is $1/gal than these Michigan harbors. Harbor is needed also because in the beginning of Illinois River there are two railway bridges that are not open any more. The lowest is 17' and the next 19'. I have to lower the mast that I have to go under the bridges. Luckily the water is 2' lower so I shall be able to go under the bridges.
I'm a little bit excited about those locks because the boat has to be fastened both bow and stern to the cleat that goes up or down. One man crew.
