Day 363: Monday, September 2, 2013

Port to Port: Ludington, Michigan

Underway: 0:00 am      Motor Off: 0:00 pm      Miles Traveled: 0      Stayed At: Marina

Mile to Mile: As predicted, today was overcast and windy but it never really rained – just a little mist. We made an early stop at the House of Flavors (the claim to fame is fresh made ice cream) for their breakfast special – for $3.89 I got two eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and 2 pancakes. Cindy got French toast and our total bill was $6.79. I wish I had known about this yesterday.

Today was a lazy day. We went on a couple long walks enjoying downtown, the waterfront walkways, the sculpture garden and the beach (have I mentioned there is a lot of sand here). We vision of 3 big golden brown turkeys cooking on the rotisserie wouldn’t leave my brain so we ended up going back to the House of Flavors to have an early dinner – the turkey, homemade mashed pototoes, gravy, stuffing and cranberries were amazing. Cindy had a fresh turkey club. So much better than cooking on the boat on a cool and blustery day.

We ended the day with another walk and a movie on the boat. Tomorrow may be a good travel day and we have several options for places to stop. Now that Labor Day is done, the marinas should be quiet and easy to find space and we may be able to find a touristy T-shirt from Lake Michigan on sale before the week is out.
