Arriving at Frankfort, Michigan

Another great day on the lake! The lake was flat with a little haze to light fog until 1100 then, blue skies and beautiful 5 star weather! We left Pentwater at 0800 and arrived in Frankfort at 1500. We stopped at the fuel dock and pumped another 130 gallons. The boat continues to run well at 1600 rpm’s. We have doubled the mileage at the slower pace. We’re truly enjoying the slower pace – it gives us more time on the water and a chance to see the coast. Michigan is truly beautiful from the lake. When the sun is on your back and shinning on the sand dunes, it’s spectacular! This is our first time in Frankfort and this is one beautiful port. The sun will be setting soon and the quiet in the harbor is deafening! Tomorrow we will spend a rest day in port and take a bike ride to see the town. Barbs son Keith and family from Cincinnati, Ohio are taking a long weekend and are staying 10 miles from here so we will meet them for a late dinner then depart at first light Friday. We still haven’t determined where the next port will be – stayed tune. We would like to spend a few nights in the marina on Mackinac Island if possible.
