Cement Plant at the end of Little Traverse Bay

 

We cross Traverse Bay which is open water for @ 10 miles.  After that we stay 1-2 miles off-shore to avoid the rocky coastline......  You can see a few "big" houses on the shore but very few......and with the haze we see very little......

 

 

We do see several boats trying to get somewhere

 



 

White stone embankments line the shore

 

 

Sport Fisherman....BIG WAKE.....Thank You

 

 

Leland Harbor....see the fog on port....

 

Leland Harbor is known as one of the most picturesque stopovers on northern Lake Michigan and an important harbor of refuge, as it is the only harbor for the 70 miles between Charlevoix and Frankfort.

 

 

By evening the marina is full

Calm before the storm

 

 

And here comes the storm....

 

Lines are secure.....expect NNW winds.....20-25 mph ......the Nanseann isn't going anywhere....
