We left Petoskey early for the trip to Leland. The lake was calm. This was another 45 mile trip. We called and Leland said that they had room for us. When we came in they really were not very full. But as the day wore on the harbor filled.

We stayed in Leland for 3 days, once again waiting out the weather. On the 2nd in the afternoon boats were rushing into the harbor. No sooner had one boat been tied up when another came in. Michigan is great about finding places for boats. Sailboats were rafted together; large power boats tucked in tying to the large poles that are at the end of the docks. There is even a boat tied between us and the sailboat in the slip behind us against the wall. We were so pleased that we had been attentive to the weather and had ventured out.

Leland is called “Old Fish Town.” There are many cottages here, lovely beaches, shops, restaurants and a grocery store. Kelley took a great bike ride; I had great walks and there was plenty of time to read, so sudoku, and, of course, knit.
