As planned, we left Mackinaw City yesterday morning with flat seas and warm weather! We had a fantastic, leisurely ride to Charlevoix. It is amazing how soon the water can settle down after several days of strong winds. Whew!
After getting settled, Mark & Vicki stopped by and we caught up on the past few days, then went to dinner. After they left, we enjoyed the company of several visitors from other boats in the marina - some of them new Loopers just beginning, or about to start their adventure.
This morning we went to breakfast with John & Jan from "Mitzvah" who brought their boat across Lake Superior from Minnesota and are starting the Loop. A bike ride and grocery shopping followed, then jobs around the boat. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of friends Al & Gayle who are joining us from Pentwater for the weekend.
As it stands right now, the weather is looking good for us to be in Ludington on Wednesday to cross our wake. Plans are to travel to Leland on Monday, Frankfort on Tuesday, and then on to Ludington Wednesday. For those of you who have been our loyal blog followers, we would love to have you join us for a little celebration when we come into the slip at Pere Pointe. Once we know more specific information about our ETA, we will post it on the blog and pass the news along.

| These semi trucks look like ants crawling across the bridge |

| Familiar Lake Michigan shoreline, just north of Charlevoix |

| We had to wait about 10 minutes for the bridge opening, and saw this approaching |

| The Emerald Isle goes to Beaver Island. We decided it would be best to give her the right of way through the bridge. :) |
