Day 2-259 in Harrisville, MI -land lubbers for a day

The bad news is that the Admiral walked me all over town. The good news is that the walk only lasted about 5 blocks. We did the three blocks of Main Street and stopped in 3 stores and one grocery store. After the 3 blocks, there is a "main" highway crossing and we did one block in either direction.  That resulted in one more (art) shop and a restaurant for lunch. Several restaurants were closed for the day (Monday). So, our choice was sown to about 3 plus an ice cream/hot dog stand in a small geodesic dome. My bad decision for the day was to forgo the perch dinner after thinking I would have it for dinner. Guess what? You are correct. We had dinner on the boat.

     The temperature was 59F outside this morning, and as you know, I do not get up early... It got into the lower 60s this afternoon. The wind was still about 20 mph out of the north. During the afternoon the wind slowly died to about 10 mph. This evening the wind is almost zero as you can see in the picture at the right. The picture was taken from the finger pier alongside Lucky Us. One of the markers at the harbor entrance is at the middle left, and as you can see, there is barely a ripple on the water. The geese are out in full force swimming around the marina.

     The sunset over the land to the west was not much (picture at right), but the forecast for tomorrow looks were good with winds of 5 to 10 mph and waves less than 1 foot. So, if the weather predictions continue to be favorable, we will depart for Alpena, MI in the morning...
