The weekend here in Fish Creek was beautiful – well, some rain, some T-storms, but all and all, pleasant. On Monday we had planned to leave and go to Fayette which is in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It is a deserted town from the 1880′s; the state runs it as a park and there is a dock for boats on a first come first served basis….

We woke up to wind – the kind that rocks you in your slip – so we stayed the day had a great bike ride through the Peninsula Park (about 10 miles). Around 4 the wind died down. It is a 5+ hour run to Fayette, so definitely too late to go.  And this morning the wind was blowing. We went off to breakfast at the White Gull Inn, winner of the best breakfast award…or something. Both of us are feeling antsy. We took a walk on Cottage Row, there aren’t any cottages here, only huge homes, and probably most of them summer homes. We could see the lake in between the houses and there were white caps, but not big swells.

We returned from the walk and the wind did seem to have calmed down a bit. We cast off and headed to Fayette. It must have been about 12:30. The ride was a little bumpy the first hour and then it was flat. It was a lovely ride. We pulled into Snail-Shell Harbor and we were the only boat. This is a beautiful spot.
