We had just come around the first mark of the race when it happened. The wind just stopped. Our boat was barely crawling across Lake Erie.

Over Memorial Day weekend, I met and collaborated with Meghan from I’m Fixin’ To Blog. She is a North Carolina based blogger who happened to be in town with her husband and friends for a wedding.
