Enjoyed our first full day in our marina. My brother & sister-in-law, Tony and Lynn, came to our boat from our family cabin that we share on Elk Lake. We ate lunch at the "Tuscan Bistro" just across the road from our marina, and we all had a delicious lunch.
Then to the cabin - a 40 mile drive - and we picked up our car that we had left in early May -- visited with some friends - picked up a gourmet pizza in Elk Rapids, and went on our way back to our boat. The picture at above right was taken as we sat in our cockpit eating our gourmet pizza.
The picture above left is the view looking south from our boat -- Michigan skies can be soo blue and pretty and the water too. The water in the northern great lakes is so clear that you can see the bottom at over 20 feet deep.
We have had a lot of chilly/rainy/windy weather in the past week, but starting tomorrow the temps will rise, so by the week-end we will hit 80 degrees! Just in time for the holiday week-end.
We have come 1420 nautical miles, and everything has gone well during the last 6 weeks. We will be living on Island Time for another 2 weeks, and then we move in to our cabin on Elk Lake. -- Will spend a few days together with Tony & Lynn at the cabin before they leave. We will be attending the Wabigama 4th of July picnic. (Wabigama is where our cabin is).
We anticipate a visit with John's cousin Mary & husband Ed & their son & family, as they have informed us that they have rented cottages on Lake Leelenau in July.
So.... this is the end of our blog, and thank you everyone for following it! We have heard from a few people who have followed the blog and we welcome all comments at: Locke806@atlanticbb.net
