I've been pretty neglectful with the blog the past week. I'll update this morning. We have been stuck for most of the time. We left Mackinac Isand and had a good trip to Charlevoix, but then got weathered in for 4 days. We enjoyed the town, it was a delight. Ate some good fish and good beer. The marina folks there were great and the boat in the slip next to us was a Canadian couple doing the loop as well. Due to fmily issues, though, they are stopping and putting their boat up in Charlevoix for the winter. After 4 days there, we were able to move on to Frankfort, 75 miles down the shore. We were stuck there for 5 nights, but again enjoyed the town, fish and beer. We anchored in Betsy Lake the whole time, near a boat that had traveled from Germany, a big catamaran. Frankfort is where my brother Jim kept his boat for many years, salmon fishing. It has a great brewpub and hardware store. Cindy found a thrift store of sorts and picked up some treasures, and I found some neat old books. Yesterday we adventured out to try and move, but it was pretty bouncy, and came back in, went to the Frankfort farmers market nd wasted another day. Today the weather is much more benign and we are on the move as I write this. Not sure where we will end up yet, at least Ludington, and maybe further. All is well, but we are used to moving and all the sitting in one spot gets a little old.
