Mary & Emery's Blog

This will be the fourth consecutive summer that we have our boat, The Emerys, on Lake Michigan. Our blog contains pictures and text about the happenings that we experience on the Lake and in the numerous ports that we visit. Much of this summer will center on Sturgeon Bay, WI and Frankfort, MI. Enjoy!

The Ludington Car Ferry




We are now in Ludington and in a marina that is VERY close to the car ferry. Which leaves at 8 A.M. each morning with a very loud blast of its horn. Yesterday it blasted us out of bed with a jolt….too funny. Attached are a couple photos of the ferry as it pulled in on Wednesday evening. We took the shots from the bow of our boat in its slip, so the channel the ferry uses is quite close.

I forgot to tell you that while we were in Saugatuck we went to a live theatre production of The Full Monty. That is a funny, poignant play about a group of out-of-work Buffalo, NY steelworkers who end up in a Chippendale-style chorus line to earn money. Terrific production that played to a sold out audience and we loved it.

Today we are near Cincinnati preparing to go to the Gill family reunion tomorrow. We are taking a Honey Baked Ham as our “favorite covered dish” to share with everyone. Should be fun.

Again, have a happy, safe 4th of July.
