Today we traveled 67-1/2 miles in 12 hours – a very long day! We left Charlevoix in time for the 6:30 am bridge opening and motorsailed along the coast enjoying the beautiful sand dunes along Lake Michigan’s east side. The day was sunny and cool with temperatures never getting much above 72 degrees. The sailing wasn’t the best since the wind was usually coming straight at us. We entered the harbor at Frankfort, MI, around 5:30 pm, stopped at the Jacobson Marina for fuel and water, then anchored in 10 feet of water at 6:45 pm. By the time we finished with dinner, it was 8:30 pm so there wasn’t much time left to dinghy into shore – instead, we enjoyed the sunset from the boat and fed bread to the birds that swam up.
