Default Milwaukee River Mariah Sighting

Okay I have to build this up a little... Last weekend the wife and I decided to head up to Milwaukee and have lunch in one of the Milwaukee Rivers water side restaurants. It was a 30+ mile hike on lake Michigan in our boat and you couldn't ask for more perfect weather. However, things turned a little sour once we got to Milwaukee but we didn't realize it until we left the river and entered Lake Michigan. The wind had picked up to about 20 knots from the south (exactly the direction we needed to head back home), and we were faced with a sea state of 3 (white caps and 5-8 foot swells). Needlees to say I almost soiled my pants crashing our poor little boat into the swells but she held out like a champ... My wife even tried driving a little on the 2+ hour crawl back but she only lasted about 10 minutes (she did not hold out like a champ, she made me promise I would not post the picture of her tossing cookies into Lake Michigan).

So anyway, while on the river in Milwuakee at our lunch table we spotted this Mariah cruzn by...
