Day 82 – Friday, August 13, 2010

41° 47.806’ N
086° 44.947’ W
New Buffalo, Michigan

Arriving in New Buffalo, MI
Heading to Hammond, IN
This morning we said our good bys to our friends from the club Glena, Bob, Mary and Frank and the three boats left the harbor in South Haven in a long procession. As we entered the lake two of the boats turned to the southwest – heading to Hammond, IN – Barb and I headed straight south to New Buffalo. We actually had good weather and smooth water. We entered the harbor and located our slip that Bruce had arranged with no difficulty.

The city is having some type of festival and have the streets closed with different bands playing on a stage. There are lots of street venders selling all of the things you shouldn’t eat but one treat doesn’t hurt.

The weather has been so hot that Barb and I are both a little bit fatigued from being out in it. We returned to the boat for a quiet evening before Chris and Bruce Bade, Becky and Dave Carlson arrive tomorrow. The plan is to stay here three nights and depart Monday morning for the River.
