Day 28 – Sunday, June 20, 2010

N – 46° 24.809’
W – 086° 39.173’
Munising, Michigan

It is Father’s day and what a day I had! At 8 am we fueled our boat - then John’s boat.

A walk was in order and we all took a tour of the town, then moved to the beach where about 20 seaplanes were moored for a splash in ----as they call it! It was great fun to talk to the pilots and see the different types of planes that were there. Our friend John at one time had a seaplane license and had a great time bending the ears of those who flew in for the “Splash In”.

When walking around the town we stopped at the Pickle Barrel House. Yes its real and worth seeing. We left the marina at 11 am just after the planes departed which was quite a treat and headed west to Munising. To get there we passed Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (pictures below)! I’m sure it’s beautiful from land but from the lake it’s unbelievable!

We are now in Munising Bayshore marina - well protected from the lake where we will spend at least one night. There are a few things we want to see and do here and will do them either now or on our return back to Lake Michigan! Our next port of call is Marquette, Michigan about 40 miles away.
