Boat ride home






This time I decided to fork out the extra $40 to get a stateroom. It made a huge difference for us - much more relaxing trip. The room had two beds, a chair, a sink and a small bathroom (toilet) and a good size window that opened up all the way with a fan blowing fresh air in.
When Maya fell asleep I was able to lay in one bed with her and Alex could spread his toys and games all out in the other bed and play. It was actually pretty relaxing with the sound of the water and all the fresh air coming in.
This trip was significantly rougher than the first crossing. I took ginger capsules and they seemed to help - it was very rough and I didn't get sick at all.
Alex decided he wanted to try out the "Badger Bingo" this time too so that was a good way to kill some time.

It's interesting to me that when you come back into port in Ludington, you come in at a totally different angle than when you leave. And the light is totally different too since we left early in the morning and came back at 6pm. When we were leaving Ludington I didn't even notice the sand dunes along the shoreline but they were very prominent when you are coming back into port there.
