Wednesday, 6July2011: Frankfort to Pentwater

Weather:  Sunny and mild.  Winds:  NW 10.  Seas:  Less than 2ft.

Nice run to Pentwater averaging 6-7kts hitting 9kts towards the end.  65nm in 10hrs.  Saw something on the shore.  Looked like a power plant at the base of the dunes with pipes running down the dune face.  Conversation with the harbormaster and it was a powerplant.  Water is pumped into the reservoir when excess power is available and then discharged when needed.

Pentwater is a nice town, the marina ok.  Facilities are basic.
