Leland is Lovely

Today we are in Leland, one of our favorite towns a bit farther north along the Michigan coast line.  We decided that we’d have lots of time in Frankfort, so off we went to enjoy other ports before we move into the house on July 3.

Attached is a picture of Leland Township’s new marina.  The docks are lovely new floating docks with plenty of cleats for tying down and lots of electrical and water connections.  The harbormaster’s house has showers, washers/dryers, and a great boaters’ lounge with wifi,  which is good because neither our phones nor computer air-card work here.  Verizon is definitely the stepchild carrier in this part of Michigan.  The marina has many energy saving features that are so annoying…….very low wattage lights, low flow toilets, slow diesel pumps…but not nearly as bad as the new Straits marina in Mackinac City that we encountered last year.

Town is fun, full of restaurants and shops and summer visitors.  We ran into a man who lives in Toano, VA and summers nearby here.  He also is trying to escape the Williamsburg heat.  Small world!

We are planning to move to Charlevoix tomorrow.  Boat is running well, weather is pretty nice with intermittent rain…even Emery is glad we aren’t in the Virginia 100 degree drought.  Have fun.
