thursday Sept 4th

Two wonderful days of cruising--sky blue and water fairly calm--perfect.  Passed miles and miles of sand dunes and incredible beaches!  The whole east coast seems to be nothing but one huge sand dune.  Stopped most afternoon for a great swim-  backed the boat up until we were in 3ft lovely sandy bottom-water temp near 74--so not bad at all.  We really have enjoyed all the small town that we have visited--you enter off the big lake into smaller, well protected lakes. One of the pics shows us heading out of port and the other heading into the next one.  Hit some great farmers markets so have enjoyed lots of fresh fruit and veggies.   We are now in South Haven and will be here for at least one more day--as we are sitting in the rain and T-storms at the moment--we are nearing the end of the 'mitt' and will soon head west over to Chicago.  I know I have mentioned the nasty waves we have been in--but the last picture shows you that it could have been a lot worse.   Funny place to park our boat--right!!!
