Day # 9 - Harbor Springs, MI
August 9th, 2008
Woke up to our first cloudy morning. It rained in the night and hoping it will clear a little later. Decided to leave for Charlevoix and left about 11:00.
A rough crossing to Charlevoix as we were in 4-6 foot waves most of the way. Fortunately it was only 16 miles and took less than 2 hours. Arriving in this port is tricky (especially in the high winds) because you have to enter the channel and wait for the bridge to open on the half hour. We only had to wait ten minutes.
Anchored out in Round Lake since the marina was full. It is art fair weekend and the town is packed. Took the dinghy in and met up with Bob Costello, Rocky Ackerman, Debbie and Sharon. Walked to the market and picked up dinner. Came back to the boat and sat out for some time and then dined on brats and fresh corn. Had a great afternoon/evening with old friends. Fun was had by all.
