FUN day in Saugatuck and packed a lot of stuff in starting with some washing/waxing of Catrina. Mark had me using the electric buffer and that was good movement for the shoulder. We walked to downtown Douglas (sister city to Saugatuck) and what a pretty little town with shops, outdoor cafes (everyone was outside eating on this gorgeous day), shops, and flowers, flowers and more flowers. We enjoyed some delicious gelato.

After lunch we went cruising on the dinghy on Kalamazoo Lake - everyone was out and about today - small sailboats, jet skiers, kayakers, pontoons, dinghys, etc.
We've seen this hydrocar before (on the bridge of a yacht in Frankfort, MI) and here it was just cruising along. When it comes out of the water, they drive away!
Stopped and toured the SS Keewatin (blizzard of the north) which was an upscale cruise ship from 1907-1967 on the great lakes running between Canadian ports. It operated as a cruise ship from May-September and during the winter months, would carry cargo. It was retired in 1967 to Saugatuck/Douglas and now is in port as a museum.

From the top deck, these were some of the sites we enjoyed...

Walked to 5:00 Mass at St. Peter's in Douglas, had salads for supper and enjoyed the lovely evening!
Tomorrow...weather and lake conditions permitting, we are "hoping" to cross over to Wisconsin!
