Windy morning on Lake Huron! Tough going on the big water, the ferry was closed for most of the morning on November 25th.

 

 

Was up in the U.P. the week before Thanksgiving to meet with the architect and do the final review on the plans. Then went on down to the Island for a few days and get some perimeter trees down. The electric is now in place with a ground transformer and meter stanchion. With the power being underground that should minimize outages at least on my end.  The basement excavation was started and November on Lake Huron was as historic with winter coming in fast and furious. Fifty mile an hour winds, snow falling and ice forming in all the coves. I don't anticipate much more being done until spring now.

Looking west towards DeTour Reef Light waves were 3-4 high in Fairview Cove. Much larger out on Lake Huron.

 

 

Comet taking in the waves and wind.

 

Below is a video of the waves the morning a big storm blew in. They were much larger earlier in the morning and the sound of the waves was more powerful than the wind. Sorry you only hear the wind on the video. The ferry was shut down most of that morning and the Might Mac bridge was closed to high profile vehicles.

Excavation started. Stanchion and transformer in the rear

 

Mostly rocks and grainy sand, should drain well with a walkout basement!
