Pentwater, Michigan

Winds and waves were high today, with a small craft warning for this section of Lake Michigan, so we very gladly stayed in this protected harbour. Very pretty resort town, with lots of shops catering to tourists. The season is pretty well over, so many are open only on weekends or for a couple of days during the week.Even the grocery store closed at 3. There was a good farmer's market this morning in town, so we stocked up on fruits and vegetables; also got some home baking.

Owners took their cars out touring for the day

There is a wonderful kitchen store with every kind of gadget you can imagine.There is also a marine store jam packed with different and interesting items. Several people came into town with beautifully restored cars; the men enjoyed looking at them. Marina has a great laundry room; this has become very important since we left home. Sylvia and Mark, Nancy and Eddie, and us got together for dinner tonight on Dream Fever (they have the most room, and it was too cold to do it outdoors). We plan to leave in the morning if the weather holds.
