Saturday September 11, 2010

Lat 041 43 51; Long 86 54 47

Fell asleep last night before I could post Saturday's blog. We left South Haven yesterday morning in the rain. However it was an easy ride down to Michigan City since the lake was quiet and waves were less than 1 foot.

Michigan City is a sad little town that looks like it got hit hard by the recession. Saturday and no-one was shopping. Lots of homes for sale, many of then quite fancy and were obviously the homes of the well-to-do many years ago. Of course we found out why no one was shopping! They have a huge outlet mall and it was packed and was about 5 minutes from the marina. It probably killed the downtown.

Had the folks over from Tide's In for pre-dinner drinks. We last saw them in Drummond and they left a day before us. They were held up by the weather also. They said they were going to stay in Michigan City and catch the train in to Chicago. Brenda and I briefly considered it but the better idea seemed to go to Chicago if the weather was good. Weather does look good for tomorrow.

Had dinner at a local restaurant, came back to the boat and fell asleep.
