Total days on Tadpole --- 110 ---

Left Charlesvoix at 0645, on the way to Leland – 34 miles away. Arrived at noon. Temp is very hot – 86 degrees. We walked the town and purchased fresh white trout for dinner from the local fish market, which was truly delicious . Alongside the market, we watched a family of otters playing in the river and kept us entertained for some time. The Leland Marina is located near the beach and Richard and Luc went for a swim in the water while Jacque and Tiki searched the beach for Petoskey stone. Jocelyne did not accompany us this afternoon.

Left Leland, headed south to Frankfort, Mi. We had reservations at Jacobson’s Marina complete with spa and pool, where we spent most of the afternoon. Later in the afternoon we walked the town, picked up steaks at the grocery store, then cooked them on the grill.

We visited the local farmer’s market before making headway to our next stop, Manistee, before the weather turns. 15-20 knot winds are expected.
