We took the Lake Express Ferry from Miwau, WI to Muskagon, MI yesterday morning to start off our road trip to New York. Lake Express is the title sponsor of CXC Ski Team so they gave us free Premier tickets for the ferry boat. The waves were a little big for such a small ferry trying to go so fast and we had plenty of sea-sick companions. I thought it was fun, but I also understood how it could make people sick. I had the most fun just trying to walk around the ferry because it was almost impossible to stand up with out holding onto something so trying to walk unaided was even tougher. So we carreened around drunkenly, slamming into walls when a big wave took us unawares. The other fun part was getting to go up into the captains deck and learn about the ship. Yeah, I got to sit in the captain's chair and watch us hit the waves (he didn't let me drive, but then again, the thing was on autopilot).

After the ferry we drove a lot and wound up staying in Flint, MI, which I have decided that I do not need to come back to.
