The Crossing - 9/16/05

We crossed Lake Michigan today from Frankfort to Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The water was calm for about half way, then it got a little rocky. It is an odd feeling to be out in the middle of a body of water and not see land anywhere for a period of time. Lisa got a little seasick.

We stayed at Harbor Centre Marina, beautiful, clean with pool and hot tub.We were amazed at the town, bigger than what we had thought. All the old buildings downtown have been restored and alive with businesses and activity. Lots of little restaurants and a beautiful river and harbor walk.

Lisa finally made a decent loaf of sourdough bread for dinner. Part of the "Bread Project" for the trip. We knew that we were going to miss the great bread available in northern Michigan so we thought we would see what we could manage to make. Lisa brought 3 bread books with us and I am sure we will have many more experiments.

The moon is nearly full and it provided a nice moonlight walk around town after dinner. Dark already... too early.
