Brown Eyed Girl: Harrisville Michigan

Today we went about 45 miles from Port Austin to Harrisville. The weather was supposed to be worse in the afternoon so we got up early and crossed Saginaw Bay. We got to Harrisville about 11:00. This is the first Michigan marina that we did not make reservations for because it costs $8 to make a reservation and none of the marinas have been crowed, in fact there are very few boats. The dock attendants say that they are very seldom crowded except during the Chicago to Mackinaw race. We got fuel and a pump out. I didn't realize a pump out costs $10 or I would have waited. This is our second fill up and we are getting much closer to 1 MPG than we did the first time. We ran a little faster today, around 11.5 MPH. There is an historic lighthouse and school house about 3 miles away. Of course I was not going to walk that far so we asked about a courtesy car. They said they have one but they would drive us and then we could call for a pick up when ready. That sounded good until we called and they said they were busy and would get to us when they had a chance. Not really sure what they were doing because there were 3 attendants and only one boat came in but what do I know. The lighthouse was nice. There was a gentlemen there in a tent on a ham radio talking to who knows. We ate dinner at the local good place. We had steaks and there were pretty good but maybe a little pricey. Ginny has not been able to find very good red wine and these kind of places but she continues to try. We are going to Presque Isle tomorrow which is about 50 miles away. We have not met any loopers yet but we are looking for the flag.
