Day 29, August 31, 2009
Lovely clear morning, very little wind and flat water!!! Set off at 9:00 a.m. with the main up but motoring into the light wind. Quiet day as we hugged the shoreline going south. Beautiful sand dunes of the Bear Bluff. Sometimes as high as 400ft. Lovely beaches but very few people around. Came into Frankfort at 4:00 p.m. and anchored in a great spot close to shore. Went walking in the little town. Very nice town with everything at hand. Able to find buttons for Katie's sweater - thrilled about this! I've been looking for buttons for the last three towns - nobody seems to sew or knit around here!!! We had an ice cream in the town and walked up Main St to the public beach and back again to the dinghy. Almost wish the weather would turn bad again so we could stay a bit longer. However, all looks good for tomorrow so we'll move on to the town of Manistee. If the weather holds out we should reach Chicago in about a week.
Went back to the boat to barbecue pork chops for supper. Afterwards brought the computer out here to the library which is right beside the marina. They even have an electrical outlet on the outside of the building so we can plug in and use their free Wifi!!! We've been sitting out here in the dark for at least an hour and a half but were delighted to speak to some of our family on skype. Thank you Frankfort!!!
