Day 106 last day in Leland

By the looks of the day, we should be boating. After the early rains, it went up to 77 degrees, sunny with a decent breeze. However, out past the breakwater, the seas are 4 - 6 foot with "occasional 8 foot waves" combined with 20 knot winds coming from the south again. We've been watching some of the boats come in and out and they are bouncing big time when they are outside of the confines of the protected weather. When we asked Jack if he wanted to go this morning, he said "NO" and took a nap. The quiet little village has turned into a crowded tourist town. Lots of people here for the holiday weekend. Walked another one of their beaches again - Van's is a popular spot that is located - where else - behind Van's car repair, which seems to cater to vintage cars. We just never imagined that Michigan had a shoreline like this. Went to an art show, then took a final stroll around Fishtown. Some of these shanties date back to 1905. They have these big spinning wheels outside the sheds for drying the trap nets. The nets are used to catch whitefish, which is what we had for lunch today - smoked, along with other species. The local Indian population and the whites have been feuding for years over netting and netting rights. They have recently come to an agreement which should replenish the fish population and help both groups. When we were boating to Beaver Island, we unknowingly got in the middle of some of these massive nets. We had a few anxious moments until we found our way out of the flags and bouys. Tomorrow is suppose to be a good boating day so we will head to Frankfort.
