Wednesday's trip Charlevoix to Northport

We woke up with a decision to make. They say they want us out of this beautiful dockage before the long Weekend. The weather today isn't wonderful but it gets worse tomorrow! This means we had better get our tails moving. We found a great place where the locals have breakfast so we start with the most important thing...filling our bellies. After a double serving of what JUDIE'S calls "HAM SCRAM" I could feel the Cholesterol building up in my veins. We said "So Long" to Judy and went for a quick walk in the rain to seek out some more of these mysterious "Mushroom houses". We found a couple and headed back to the boat. We had missed the ten o'clock bridge opening so we had to put in time for the next one. We headed out into what we thought would be 15 kt winds and one to two foot sea. It turned out to be a bit wilder than that so we changed out destination from Leland (35 mi) to Northport 25 miles. Not exactly where we wanted to go but another great place that has been here since the dawn of time and it looks like we will be here for a day or two. Gale warnings and thunderstorms for the next couple of days. I think we are better off than those folks in northern Florida!
