Sunday, 3July2011: Charlevoix to Leland

Weather:  Sunny and mild.  Winds:  Nil.  Seas:  Flat.

Motored to Leland, hugging the shore where practical, touring the Leelanau Peninsula.  Stopped and anchored for a bit and went for a swim in 65 degree water.  Hey, I was hot and was tired of being on the water and not in it!

Leland has a small marina and the town is a former fishing village.  Many of the fish shacks along the river have been converted to shops selling local art etc.   Found a nice restaurant to have dinner...and the local ice cream shop of course!

Got back to the marina and a section of the dock was crowded, having been taken over by a few local power boaters seeming to think they owned it.  Was tough getting through them, particularly with the dogs.  Got a treat later as the dock was a pretty good view for the local 4th of July fireworks!  Qatar did not like it of course, but we tried to keep him below.
