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!

Climbing to the Top





There is a high peak in the granite hills surrounding Marianne’s Cove in Baie Fin. We climbed it, and the view from the top is spectacular. Attached is a picture of Emery as we started up, Mary at the top (bruises and blood included) and the view. Quite a satisfying 45 minute trip up, and hard coming down the rocks. Beautiful.

That climb was Friday, and on Saturday we pulled up anchor and came to Killarney on the east end of a channel between the North Channel and Georgian Bay. This is home to Mountain Lodge and Herbert’s Fish (red school bus) that we loved coming through here in 2007. Fun place and we have laughed and chatted with lots of boaters and Lodge guests. We were entertained on Saturday night in the Carousel Bar at Mountain Lodge by a guy who could sing almost anything requested…..Sinatra, John Denver, Johnny Cash, whoever. Lots of fun. Sunday morning was a killer thunderstorm and today is beautiful blue sky and 75 degrees. We went to the pool and then to dinner tonight at the Lodge to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary.

Tomorrow we are headed off the Covered Portage Cove to anchor out again. Who knows what we will experience there. Cheers to all.
