Weather: Sunny and warm. Winds brisk S.
South Haven to Saugatuck/Douglas, 22 miles, 3 hrs. Wing on wing with the two headsails again. Wonderful sled ride.
Cool motor up the Kalamazoo River to Kalamazoo Lake. Felt like heading into the unknown, what heading up the Amazon must be like with the trees overhanging the river and no houses visible. What is around the next bend? Further in, watch out for the channel markers and avoid the dredging equipment. Hey, look at that house! Boat traffic as we approached the lake. Centerboard thunked into something, but did not kick up. The town of Saugatuck appeared to port with lots of lakeside businesses, restaurants, bars, piers and moored boats. We headed to the south shore and Tower Marina in Douglas figuring with the dogs, quieter is better. It was a good choice with nice facilities and friendly people on the docks. It was expensive though at $1.80 per foot.
Dinner at http://www.everydaypeoplecafe.com/ was very nice. Get there early or it might be a long wait.
