Left Mackinaw City on Weds, September 4, it's cloudy with 2-3-4 foot waves on the beam. Stabilizers took care of it perfectly. Arriving @ Rogers City, we've traveled 1800 miles on Day 95. We walked up town, not much to see. The old theater where we watched the movie in June was closed temporarily for a week, does that give you an idea regarding the excitement around town. We stopped in at the Dollar store, a gift/coffee shop & the carry-out.

Thursday morn, Sept 5, we left Rogers City with blue skies & sun but cool 56 degrees. 2-3 foot waves again on our beam. Arrived @ Presque Isle. It's even real quiet here, Labor Day truly does signify the end of summer here in Michigan. The weather wasn't conducive to walking around too much; windy & cold. It appears now that Labor Day is over, so is summer. What a shame because they have such a short season.
Friday morning, Sept 6, as we were preparing to leave Presque Isle, an 80 foot schooner, Madeline (a pirate ship) arrived on their way back from PIB's celebration. We are younger than the crew on Madeline; no worries. We left Presque Isle & headed to Harrisville, where they win for the best facilities. Steve, the Harbor Master has a lot to do with this. Doug & I walked to a store where Garry & Jacque had bought an entrance rug on our way up North, which we love, so we wanted to get one too. They were sold out, so we ordered one. The weather again is cool & windy.
