September 1, 2012 Day 113 Grand Haven, MI Total miles to date: 2257.8
This has been a fun day.
We left the marina on White Lake at 7:20 this morning and were in Grand Haven
by 11:15. We had a very smooth trip today!
Our slip at the marina was still occupied until noon, so we tied up on
the wall until it was available.

This guy was on a paddle board in Lake Michigan this morning and crossed right in front of us - he was headed west! |
One of many examples of "Dog Art" in Grand Haven. This one was made of dominoes! |
Grand Haven is a very active waterfront community especially Labor Day weekend. There was a parade of boats going up and down the river all afternoon and the marinas were full. There are many shops and restaurants here on the waterfront and in the adjacent downtown. We are glad we made the decision to come here.

At 9:30 we watched the
Musical Fountain water show from the boat. We had perfect seats from the top of
the boat although there is a stadium next to us where many people gathered to
watch. There was still a parade of boats going by during the light show!
We met one Looper
here from Ohio on their saiboat, Sea Biscuit. We also
met the owners of two other 45 Californians. It is rare for three Californians to be in
the same marina!
Tomorrow we will stay in
Grand Haven but we need to move to another marina. We could not book this slip
for 2 nights, so we will “relocate” to a marina on Spring Lake.
