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!

Baseball and Jet Skis

Last night we went to a Traverse City Beach Bums baseball game.  The Bums play in the Frontier League, an independent league which is heavily scouted by big league teams.

Attached are pictures from the night.  It did rain off and on, but that didn’t dampen the fun environment.  Lots of kids, and contests for them between innings….all in all a great summer experience.  Very colorful!





Today was another great day here, and no wind.  So we took the jet skis into Lake Michigan.   There is a nice boat launch here in Frankfort just down Betsie Lake from Jacobson’s Marina.  It was fun; we went mainly south along the shoreline and there are endless, huge sand dunes.  Quite a sight!  We came back into the Marina and parked off the swim platform of The Emerys and relaxed for a while.  While we were there, 2 hundred-foot boats came in along with a couple “little 50 footers.  One doesn’t usually see such big boats, so it was fun to watch them jockey around.  John the Harbormaster did a good job preparing for them earlier today, so it went smoothly.

All in all, a good couple of summer days in Michigan.
