Anchored in
the bay near Frankfort and met up with some Loopers, Tari and Roger McGee on
Paradise Hunter. Had a delightful time
with them and a pleasant lunch at the Stormcloud Brewing Company. They specialize in Belgian-style craft beer
and I had an excellent blonde ale.
From right to left, Tari, Roger, Bruce and Chris.
Next, on to
Ludington. We ended up spending four
days in Ludington, two days at anchor.
After two days we headed to Pentwater and halfway there needed to turn
back to the Ludington Municipal Marina for a doctor’s visit. Stayed two additional days which gave us time
to check out their local brewery, Jamesport Brewing Co. They brew on site, so of course we had to
sample some of their beers. It was an
excellent lunch and great beer, and I would highly recommend these two breweries
for beer lovers.
The first
two days at anchor were in the bay in by the waterfront. They had a beautiful park and live music the
first night. The ferry `Badger’ docked
close to us and did their round trip to Manitowac, WI twice a day. The SS Badger has been in service on Lake
Michigan since 1953, with a length of 410 feet.
It was designated a National Historic Landmark on January, 20,
2016. The ship is named for the
University of Wisconsin athletic teams, the Wisconsin Badgers. The boat is steam powered and fueled by
coal. The Badger carries 620 passengers
and 180 autos. Very impressive
underway and no, we are not going to collide, we are at anchor!
