Wednesday, 8June2011: Ludington

Weather:  Thunderstorms threatened most of the day.  Winds S 15-25 gusts 30.  Understood Lake Michigan waves 3-5 feet.

Valor.

Did not intend to stay here today.  Weather dictated playing it smart.  Made the most of it, touring the town, finding the grocery and ice cream shop.  Jameport Brewing was visited again.  I liked the Cottage Pie and Scottish Strong Ale.

Got to see SS Badger firing up its boilers, black smoke and all, prepping for a trip across the lake.  She was the first ship I'd been on.  In the late 60s, mom and dad took us on a family vacation to Wisconsin Dells using the ferry across to get us there.  I remember standing on the bow, leaning over the white painted rail with dad pointing out various things on the dock.  It was a warm, sunny day, unlike today....
