Part two - Friday Island to Northport

Tom  for went for a dingy row, before we secured, and headed out for Northport. Winds seemed very light, but we had our hopes up  we could do some sailing today.

Once we got out into the channel we put up the main sail and did a little motor sailing for about an hour then the wind picked up and we put out the wisker pole and sailed wing to wing at about 5+ kts. WE WERE SAILING - NO MOTOR  HAPPY DANCE.

Right about here my camera batteries finally died.  I started to work on my knitting project. I want to make a Market Bag out of cotton yarn to carry things in on our foraging expeditions. I was proud of the fact, I got over six inches added on when I realized that it was twisted. As the sun was setting I was unknitting six inches.
  Tom and I are  catching up on a lot of reading. I finished Reading the OED: One Man, One year 21,730 pages by Ammon Shea. If you love words then I highly recommend this book. It was great fun reading.  I started reading Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson.  We have been fortunate have access to libraries to use Internet, and I have been donating the books that I have finished.

Camera working and we are approaching the Leelanau light. We are still sailing and maintaining our speed, but the sun is getting lower in the sky.

I love sunsets. We dropped anchor outside the Municipal marina. The stars ---- it is amazing the number of stars we are unable to see in our urban environments.  We will be staying in Northport on Saturday so I will have local pictures to add. Then we are off  to Boyne City- and North
