Lake Michigan Mayhem with the Boomershines

Ever wondered what it’s like to turn a 42-ton motor yacht into a giant surfboard? The Boomershines thought they were in for a relaxing 50-mile cruise from Grand Haven to South Haven, but Lake Michigan had much saltier plans. Despite a "calm" forecast, the crew found themselves white-knuckling through six-foot following seas that sent SeaShine surging from 10 to 14 mph in seconds. Between "saucy" channels, evacuations on the pier, and a mysterious power failure at the docks, this voyage was anything but smooth sailing. Can the Admiral keep her cool while the boat plays leapfrog with the waves? You’ll have to watch to see if they make it to lunch in one piece!
