Another warm summer day on Lake Michigan 
Sand dunes rising 480 feet above Lake Michigan
Entrance to Frankfort harborYes, at 6:40 a.m. we finally left the dock in Petoskey! Conditions still were not the best as we took waves and wind first across the bow, and then on our starboard quarter as we turned to go south into Lake Michigan.
George operated the boat from up in the fly-bridge, and Pat stayed down in the salon monitoring things at the lower station until things calmed down after several hours. The scenery along the way was beautiful with enormous sand dunes along the shore.
Dan called us on the boat radio to see how we were doing, and a little later we heard "Maya Lisa", a boat we haven't seen since Parry Sound on 7/13 and who we thought was long gone from the area, calling a nearby marina., We were delighted to hear that she was nearby, but she didn't answer our radio call. Next we heard from "Houlegan" who we hadn't seen since St. Ignace on 7/27. She was headed also to Frankfort, but not to the same marina. We arrived safely at Jacobson's Marina at 2:15 p.m. after a 77 mile journey.
After a great steak dinner on our barbecue, Pat made phone calls to some of our boating friends, but was only able to reach Ray and Caryl Houle, who were also going to Manistee tomorrow and then on to Ludington where we might see them on Friday.
