The forecast was for north winds 15-20 mph, with waves of 2-4 feet. We left earlier than usual to try and beat the larger waves. The first 1/4 of the trip was really rocky as the waves were hitting us on the starboard beam. Once we made a course change to a more southerly direction, we had following seas which is a little more difficult to steer through, but more comfortable. Along the way, we passed Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Recently, Good Morning America named Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore as the most beautiful place in America. Unfortunately, the waves were not cooperative, so we were not able to get close enough to get good pictures. Here is what I was able to capture,
We finally were able to make it to our destination, Frankfort Municipal Marina, safe and sound! There was quite a lot of activity at the marina, as they were having a fishing tournament. The participants were fishing for salmon and one of the fish I saw was over 25 pounds. Frankfort Municipal Marina is right downtown, like most of the Michigan Marinas we have stayed at. Everything you may need is just a short walk away. There is a beautiful beach a short walk down the street and there was a wedding party having pictures taken on the beach. Here is a shot of the beautiful beach
