The grass was terrible on everybody's anchors. It's a lovely spot but the pulling the grass off the anchor is a pain. Some people drove around in their dingy's helping boaters cut the grass for them.
Love the name!  Haha
See the ball of grass on the end of the anchor?!
These white triangles are called range markers. When lined up you know you are dead center of the channel.  
Now you can see how far apart the markers really are.

Little Current was having a big festival this weekend and we heard the marina would be filling up quickly. So we arrived a day early to make sure we could get a slip because we are picking up our friends Barbara and Joe Huber from Kentucky. He happened to have a meeting in Oshkosh so figured if they were this close maybe we could cruise together. They are parking their car here for  a few days cruising, then we will return them here and head west.

We had a nice sized docktails with Jet Stream, Over Ice, Jill Kristy, Dream Fever and Last Dance, then leftovers for dinner.



Thursday, we did laundry and grocery shopping. After 4 days on anchor the list got quite long. Mike also gave the boat a good washing while I cleaned the inside. I caught up on the Blog by sitting on a rock outside the office where the WIFI antenna was. Not the best reception from the boat. But gotta do what you gotta do sometimes.




All the above boats went to dinner at the Anchor Inn in town then went over to the bar and listened to some music by a local guy who also subs as the bar tender. Probably the largest crowd he'd had in a while. He was quite appreciative and it was fun.
