Monday Frankfort to Manistee -

Hello -
We left Frankfort this morning around 8 am - there was fog in the marina but the hot sun burned it off quickly. We followed the fishermen out of the harbor and out into the lake. There were very lite winds and no waves. Valiantly we raised out sails and shut off the motor - we sail at 2 to 3 kts until around 2pm them gave in, brought the sails down and then turned on the motor. All in all it wasn't a bad day for harbor hopping.
The water was so still, the reflections from the dock created a neat effect.

This spider was very busy during the night, its web was huge

fog rolling off the hills





Around 5:30 we finally hand the Manistee Light house and safe harbor in our sites


The municipal Marnia is next to a park, well maintained and we were soon secured to the dock.


Sunset on the river - another new port - a fairly good day of sailing. Tomorrow Whitehall- or where the wind takes us
