More Photos Enroute to Frankfort





The coastline has changed now. The bluffs are high with huge sand dunes in places. The beaches are gorgeous with aqua, clear waters - very picturesque.

The photo is of a commercial boat and one that we've seen only on Lake Michigan. They have fishing nets that you have to watch for. One has to keep more of a watchful eye for the sport fishermen. They are large in numbers, love to congregate right in the middle of harbor entrances and are focused on their fishing - not other boats on the water. Sport fishermen don't have the right of way, but the rule of prudence says you'd best stay out of their way!

The State of Michigan offers municipal marinas that are affordable and always clean.
The private marinas sometimes are nicer with more amenities, but for a price. We've done very little anchoring this trip, which has been rough on the budget.
