Looking down Main Street in Frankfort, MI.
Looking the other way, Main Street runs into a beach.
Today we stayed in Frankfort because the waves were predicted to be in the 3 - 6 foot range. We cleaned the boat on the inside. George even vacuumed. Yahoo! Then I went to the library and read out on their porch. After lunch we walked around town. Almost everything you need is on Main Street: bank, restaurants, 3 ice cream parlors, a hotel, a couple of bars, a True Value Hardware, clothing and gift shops, a cinema, and a pharmacy. (I did not see a grocery.) We found the light bulb we needed for our salon at the hardware store, which felt like a good omen. Then we discovered delicious ice cream. There are lots of folks riding bicycles here. The bike path runs through the park beside the lake and marinas. There's a lake-themed playground in the park too.
At 5:00 pm we had docktails with folks from other boats. Patriot hosted Field Trip, Penny Pinchin', Mazel Tug, Aunt Aggie and Palmetto Paradise, new to us loopers from South Carolina. We enjoyed meeting them. They are good story tellers and regaled the group with their tale of meeting a big black bear on their walk up to Lake Topaz.
George and I returned to Aunt Aggie and had a yummy supper of hamburgers, brussel sprouts, carrots, and corn. As George was putting away the grill, he heard a jazz band. So we walked into the park and listened to a ten person combo playing Dixieland. After that pleasant break we're back home, ready to play bridge online. We hope to move tomorrow to Manistee, just 30 miles south.
Talented Michigan musicians entertained us tonight.
