We departed Saugatuck at 10:20 AM after a rainy and restless night. The anxiety of finally leaving was in play, but once we were on our way, everything settled down and we really started enjoying the moment! It was a beautiful day with sunny skies and calm seas. We have found that the departure side of this is way more stressful and involved than the return. Once underway, Sheri was able to really concentrate on getting the cabin squared away and all of our provisions stowed properly.Our first day has traditionally involved a long leg to really get the trip underway. This year we decided to go to Ludington, Michigan on our first day. We arrived at the harbor entrance just in time to see the S.S. Badger (very old Lake Michigan car ferry) as it pulled out for its 8PM run across the lake to Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
Ludington is a very nice town with equally nice marinas. We liked it so much we decided to take a real day of rest and spend an extra day. On Sunday morning I saw a first and that was a seaplane pulling to the gas dock for fuel. I guess this particular model did not need aviation grade fuel. On Monday we will head up to Frankfort which is about 50 miles 
north.
