Okay, let's try this again.....was posted before I had finished??????? Mark says I hit some button??? Probably operator error!
Burr...it's chilly up here in Charlevoix! Rained during the night, this morning and started again around 5:30. Temps did not get out of the 50's. Oh well...tomorrow promises to be sunny and warmer as we head north?
Fixed pancakes and sausage for breakfast, exercised (inside Catrina), and I wandered around downtown (didn't buy a thing)! Catrina was thirsty, so took her for some good ole diesel and she's happy now and ready for the next outing! Gasoline at the fuel dock is $4.75 per gallon and diesel is $4.38 ($1.15 higher than 1 year ago)!
I got a manicure in the afternoon with Brenda and back to Catrina to stay warm and read. Mark worked all day on Catrina jobs and got a lot accomplished! I went to Scovie's for yummy deli sandiwches and brought back to boat.
Did a load of laundry and hoping to grocery shop...whoops, as I was ready to download some pictures...popped up on the screen that the blog had been udpated???????? Will come back to this later???? Strange things going on!!!
We are back - went to the Village Inn for awesome whitefish tacos (me) and whitefish dinner (Mark). Then to Oleson's for a few provisions! Good night to be in out of the elements!
As I said yesterday, the Charlevoix City Marina is beautiful and our neighbor on the dock told me it was rated the 2nd best marina according to some yachting magazine! The "best" is somewhere in Maryland! Here are some photos:
Marina office, shower room, laundry, and boater's lounge
Children's Fountain of Youth
Pretty pond with waterfall and lots of fish
To the left of this is beautiful city park along with amphitheater where they have concerts during the summer
Catrina tucked into her slip
One of the many beautiful,, LARGE homes on the lake (across from the marina).
Back on the water tomorrow....check out good ole "SPOT"!!!

Pat: Glad you are finally on to your big cruise. The Fountain of Youth at the marina is just like the Splash Pad at our local Children's Park. The kids love this fountain and they can control what kind of spray, etc.for certain programs. They run, play and throw balls into the spray. It is on a timer and if the eye does not detect any movement the program stops. Have a nice cruise tomorrow. Love, Judy
