Sausage gravy, biscuits, over easy eggs and bacon....breakfast of champions....and another very smooth ride into my favorite marina...Charlevoix....dock master recognized us...which is a first! ...stern in dockage was the first we've done in ages...but Captain Floyd backed us right in...several looper boats around and we are proudly flying our gold and platinum flags...Ted and Linda cruised by in their run about to say welcome and we made plans to join them at the cottage for supper. That was delayed a bit by grandson's visit to the emergency room where Linda had to be substitute mom for awhile. But it happened...food was grand, alcohol flowed, problems solved. It's good to be in Charlevoix....film at 11.

We did experience some strange clunking, grinding motor?? Or something noises yesterday that have us a little concerned.....and the weather continues to stay cold...so we're thinking about heading to Northport...working on our boat chores and heading home sooner rather than later...stay tuned to see how that works...no one is complaining...it's been a great summer aboard the TUMBLEWEED...
