Marquette, Michigan
Yes were still here in Marquette, Michigan! The fog is so thick you could cut it with a knife! The fog lifted for about an hour and a half sometime around 5 pm! By seven it had returned (picture on right) and by 9 pm you couldn’t see the end of the dock!
We walked into town to Donkers ice cream shop (picture on left) and while talking to the owner Barb realized that her son Keith and the owner’s brother had swum together in high school and Barb had played tennis with his mother! It’s truly a small world out there.
Later in the fog we pooled our food and had dinner on the Flints boat before returning to our boat in the dense fog!
Tomorrow doesn’t look good for getting out of here. The latest forecast is calling for rain and waves of 5 feet! If the forecast changes we’ll get out of here, if it doesn’t we’ll stay put! This is the longest period of time Barb and I have ever been stuck in port because of weather.
