August 28, 2012  Day 109      Frankfort, MI      Total miles to date:  2126.9

Lake Michigan was a little rough this morning, so we waited until 10:00 to leave. We followed the shoreline closer but still had 3 foot waves on the beam for two hours so we rolled side to side. It got better as we turned and took the waves on the stern.  We had a 45 mile ride today but we tolerated it ok! We enoyed passing the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes on the way.

We arrived in the nice little town Frankfort at 3:20 and got a pump out and then went to our slip.  We docked at the Municipal Marina next to Why Knot, another Looper boat we first saw in Charlevoix.

We took a walk through the downtown complete with little shops and restaurants. Then we walked down to the beach.  We had planned to have dinner on board, but a local church group had hotdogs etc, for sale under the pavilion by our boat. They had a Praise Band performing so we joined the local residents and had dinner there.

We had a quiet evening as we were all pretty tired from the longer ride today. Tomorrow we will go 50 miles to Ludington and stay there 2 or 3 days waiting for good weather. There are strong winds forecast so we need to stay put once we get there.
