Friday morning we hustled around to make the 11:00 bridge opening....well , not exactly hustle...but it was nice to hear the complementary comments from the dock hands. They recognized that we knew what we were doing and how to do it! Sad to say, we learned some of this the hard way...but hey, you remember it well!  Bittersweet to say so long to one of our favorite Lake Michigan spots. Again, not looking forward to that skanky river section...and while we may be a little uncomfortable with the cold...we are certainly not looking forward to the HEAT!

Dense fog for the last two hours into Leland....in fact, Floyd was afraid he’d have to do an instrument landing...but visibility cleared enough to see the marina..and we were fine just fine! Smooth water all the way...and no boat traffic....and yes, winter coats!
