Leland and on to Frankfort Michigan

We did leave on Sunday morning and made our way to Leland.  Leland is a small Fish Town with neat old fish shacks that house a variety of stores including fresh fish just caught.  We enjoyed walking the town and then purchased some just caught salmon to prepare for our supper. On Monday (today) we left out early to get some mileage before the winds picked up and increased the waves.  We are finding that Lake Michigan  can be a very rough ride for our boat when the winds pick up any speed at all.  We are not to fond of taking the waves over the bow. As we traveled today about 35 miles  we went past Sleeping Bear National Park with 480 foot tall sand dunes to our port side. We also passed by the famous lighthouse know as Miss Betsie.  Tonight we are anchored  in Frankfort,  on Miss Betsie Lake overlooking yet another small village.
