Day # 12 - Elk Rapids, MI
August 12th, 2008

Woke to ANOTHER beautiful morning in Charlevoix. They called and have a slip available in Elk Rapids. Left Charlevoix at 9:30 and entered the channel under the bridge. Photographed the “Toad Houses” on Round Lake before we left.
Beautiful ride to Elk Rapids, 32 miles, 3.25 hours. Pulled into the slip at their beautiful marina and headed into town. A couple of antique shops and knick knack stores and we were back at the boat. Someone we met in Mackinac recommened a cajun restaurant here called Pearl’s. Andy checked at the marina office and they will send a shuttle for us when we are ready. Guess dinner plans are made.
Wanted you all to know that my EarthBox filled with herbs is alive and well. Actually use them quite often and it certainly is a good conversation piece. Headed to Traverse City in the morning.
