Grand Haven...again!

You may remember a post I did a little over a week ago about walking the pier at Grand Haven. Well, this afternoon we went back again.
I was at work and kept hearing how windy it was outside. When I left work, they were talking on the radio about how high the waves were; 10-12 feet!
Bob had the day off today, so when I got home, we took a little drive to see the waves at Lake Michigan.

This is the water in the channel. As we were walking, water was splashing up over the boardwalk. We saw one lady get splashed and she ended up soaked from the chest down!
If you look at the pier in the picture above, you can see people at the left side of the picture, standing on the pier. The rest of the pier was closed to walking, which was good as the waves were sweeping right across it.

Look at the size of those waves! If you look closely, you can see 2 people, holding surfboards standing on the pier to the right of the inner light.
Yes - people were surfing out there!

Here you can see them coming in.

There is a little speck in the middle of the water, under the outer light - another surfer.

Here's one of those waves hitting the lighthouse. There is also another surfer in this shot - in the foam directly beneath the inner light.
It was fun seeing the lake in a completely different state than it was the last time we were there!
