It was a nice cruise down to Leland and there was room for us on arrival. This is the only harbor that we've seen the marina raft boats out from the slips. We had two Looper boats rafted in back of us - it required some coordination when we wanted to leave the next morning!
Leland is a small fishing village. Shops and restaurants used the old fishing shanties for a unique setting. When the 130' yacht arrived, it definitely seemed out of place. Note the red amphibus car on the deck that is used as a tender/dinghy. Yes,it has propellers and can travel 10 knots on the water!
We totaled about a dozen Loopers in Leland. Each port gathers a few more, as we all work our way to Chicago in the next 2-3 weeks. On average there are 300 cruisers doing the Loop - pretty amazing, eh? We met several others for cocktails and snacks on shore and then went out for dinner.
