It’s good to have plans....so when they don’t work you can adjust...I think by now we’re on plan E, F or maybe G....in the fog and cool temps we cruised to Petoskey...where the electrical guru had assured us we’d have no issue....yeah, right! We blew the whole dock. No red lights and sirens...but people notice. One power cord works fine...it controls heat and AC...which I guess is good. And then we’ll run the generator for a bit in the morning...for coffee and recharging...then again for awhile in the evening...fridge and ice maker and any cooking need power. It’s an inconvenience....and seems a little ridiculous to be staying in a nice marina...running your generator...but it is what it is. We’re making plans to move on...not a deal breaker.

Did laundry yesterday after arrival...mostly my “doesn’t go in the dryer” stuff...so smells really fresh aboard as I have it hanging everywhere...lol....

We ate last night at the City Park Grill...made famous by being frequented by Ernest Hemingway...seems that as a boy his family spent summers in this area and he came here after WWI to recover from his injuries and hone his writing skills. Seems to be several statues and historical markers about his presence scattered around. We’re planning to explore/ shop our way around the old town today. ..then tomorrow on to Harbor Springs....four miles across the bay. We plan to rent a car on Saturday and go over THE bridge...some things in the UP we want to see...Beaver Island is still on the list of stops.

Finally found a groomer for sweet Dakota...the lady I met in the grocery parking lot...so we plan to be in Leland before July 1....not gonna let the moss grow...just keep moving! We’ll see how that works.
It’s not summer yet!
