It was a rainy and overcast start. We saw the Sleeping Bear Dunes from the water this time. Also saw a ship wreck from 1960 called the Francisco Morazon, a Liberian Freighter. 

We also saw some of the oldest and largest white cedar trees in the world.

We docked at the Municipal Marina in Frankfort at 12:30, just in time to hit the Farmer's Market. I loaded up on corn, and several local fruits of cherries, blueberries and peaches. Mike even found some brats and decent steaks for the freezer.

Fellow Loopers, Zephyr finished their loop (called "crossing your wake") in Charlevoix Thursday. We had not seen them since the Chesapeake, we were so glad they drove 2 hours from Charlevoix to see us. Denise took me to the grocery, then we had drinks and visited for a while before dinner. We asked them how it felt to being finished. They both said it was bitter sweet. I imagine that's the way we will feel. 

Paul and Denise of Zephyr, they are now "Gold Loopers"
(when you complete the Loop, you get a gold flag to fly)

Dinner at Dingy's with Zephyr, Sweet T, Morningstar, Chica and Rowe Boat.
