Ludington MI to Grand Haven MI - and Gold Looper Status!

Image
We are back at North Shore Marina!   The place we started and the place our boat calls home.  We have a new slip (next to where we were last year) and we have a port tie which is best for our boat.   How we tie up here will take some getting used to... We left Ludington today and it was a bit breezy (15-20 knot winds).  It was our best day to get home in the next five though so we went.   You can't see it but the waves were coming up high enough to splash us all the way on the top deck.   Lumpy for the first 30 miles.  Until we reached silver lake sand dunes.  Then we could turn about 30 degrees and quarter the waves a little.  The white caps died down also.  It was kind of foggy today so we couldn't see very far.  More of a haze as it didn't affect navigation but made pictures difficult.  That's the light house at Little Sable Point.   But we eventually made it to Grand Have

Charlevoix MI to Ludington MI

One boat move from HOME!  But that won't happen today or tomorrow.   Weather is coming in so we will batten down the hatches until Monday.   We woke early this morning to get the 6am bridge in Charlevoix.   It turns out they were starting a marathon today at 6am at the bridge.  Joy.  They held the bridge only a few minutes and then opened it for us... Or should I say FOR the BEAVER ISLAND FERRY (they were waiting too...)
