Some of the scenes around Lake Charlavoix and Round Lake. We were two nights at anchor in Oyster Bay, a short distance from Round Lake and the town of Charlavoix. Hot Dogs anyone? The house you see in the picture was for sale in case you want to buy it! The flowers were beautiful.

Harbor Springs

We took a dinghy ride across Little Traverse Bay to Harbor Springs. Some of the sites around the harbor.

A lovey town and we have not finished exploring. Did some shopping today--got my hair cut. The women on the boat next to us said "welcome to the world of cruising--each haircut is a new experience!"

We took a short hop to Mackinac City from Mackinac Island, only 7 miles. It is one of the ports from lower Michigan that has ferries going to Mackinac Island. We have had a weather delay here.

Grand Hotel, Mackinic Island, MI

What a beautiful hotel and grounds. We had lunch with some fellow "loopers", Nat and Ellen, in the hotel. A film with Christhoper Reeves was made in part here.

Ferries making a rooster tail--Ed was impressed.
