Well for those of you following our travels, the new generator was scheduled to arrive in Charlevoix Friday afternoon. With a 3 day weather window that screamed sailing, we pulled out of Charlevoix this morning and headed 15 miles northeast to Harbor Springs. We'll head back to Charlevoix Sunday to prep for the new genset install Monday morning.

As soon as we hit the big lake we encountered fog, which was a good time for us to try out our fog horn - which you are required to sound in a specific pattern and time interval. It worked just fine.

After about an hour the summer sun burned of the fog and we had a nice sail with 5-10 kt winds up into Little Traverse Bay. Sunny with a nice breeze made for a relaxing sail. Marjorie knit for several hours, we had lunch and overall had a nice day on Lake Michigan.

We arrived at Harbor Springs about 4 pm and got a nice dock position on the end; easy in and easy out. Took a walk in this very preppy Northern Michigan town and had a cocktail before grilling and having another great meal on board. Winds calmed down and there is a very nice breeze blowing through the cabin tonight.

Harbor Springs is a town with many, many beautiful homes and a LOT of old money; think Ford, Packard, Gamble, etc. There are more Hinckley Picnic boats here than I have ever seen in one place, except for the Hinckley yard in Bar Harbor, Maine. As the picture at the top documents, not too many on the unemployment roles in this town.
