Day 105 More of Leland

Woke up this morning to rain and more rain. When it cleared out, it looked good enough to leave, but the dock master said what we saw in the protected inlet was not what was going on out on the lake. Out there, seas were 4 foot with 20 - 25 knot winds from the south which meant taking it on the nose - forget that, so we are in Leland today again. After noon, the sky turned blue and we took a walk on the beach. You can see it on the other side of the marina breakwater. The water was not too bad temp-wise. Lake Michigan was a beautiful shade of sea green and reminded me of the Gulf - just unsalted. Their motto up here is "just like the ocean except no salt- no sharks". Searched the shore for pretty rocks which are quite abundant. It actually got up to 80 today and we broke out the shorts. Walked around the vintage village of Fishtown. They damed the little river in 1854 so at one end of the village is a man-made waterfall. More rain is predicted for tonight and tomorrow morning, but if it passes quickly enough, we will take off for Frankfort much to Jack's chagrin. (Cudos to Brandi - good job, baby girl!)
