Grand Haven, Michigan

Left Pentwater at 7:30 this morning along with Dream Fever and Heavenly Ours. Came south along the east shore of Lake Michigan another 57 miles. The sand dunes and sandy beaches continued all the way along our travels today, some of the areas looked treed and remote, others built up with beautiful houses/cottages.
Forecast was for rough weather later today, and the waves started getting a little higher just before we arrived, so we were glad to get here. Marina is more shallow than we had anticipated; Eddie and Nancy, with their 4'6" draft, got stuck on the bottom in their slip. It is sand rather than mud, so should do no harm.
Forecast for tomorrow is for wind and high waves, so we will probably get a taxi and go into town for the day. Our marina is on the other side of the water from town, and the shuttle isn't running because it is late in the season. This marina, however, does have good protectrion from high winds and waves.
They have a sound and light show on Friday and Saturday nights, we watched the show from here, but the view would be better from town. Beautiful evening, clear and quite warm compared to the temperatures we have been seeing.
