I think the tug is Manitou, but didn't get a really good view. This photograph is far below my usual standard....

Lake Charlevoix, near Boyne City, Michigan.

Explored! #209 on Wednesday, September 19, 2007 (but no longer in the top 500; perhaps the most mysterious in my Explored! group). Thanks!

Explored (#51 on Wednesday, September 19, 2007). Thanks! (No longer in the top 500.)

The prettiest boat in the Suttons Bay Marina. Rather wish we'd got her name....

South Haven, yet again. But it hardly matters....

South Haven.

Muskegon's harbor entrance is protected by two breakwaters and two piers. This is the South Pierhead light. There's a square tower at the end of the south breakwater and a smaller navigational aid at the end of the north breakwater.

Same picture as this , processed differently. I'm pretty sure I like this one better.

A mediocre scan of a photo taken with too-fast film. Too bad; the photo came out otherwise nicely. Another version . The boat's name is Watermelon, but it's pretty hard to read in this pic.

Suttons Bay, Michigan.

Muskegon, Michigan. Best LARGE . Explored (#60 on Wednesday, September 19, 2007). Thanks! (No longer in the top 500. So it goes....

Door County, Wisconsin. Lake Michigan at its finest.

A sailboat leaves Cheboygan's harbor.

People used to live in that building. Like 14 Foot Shoal , this light marks an obstruction in the channel between Bois Blanc Island and the mainland, and is visible from the long beach at Cheboygan State Park. Not as close to the park, though.

Sarnia's casino, Port Huron's MOC, and some boats on the river. July 3, 2005; shot from under the Blue Water Bridge.

Things to do at the beach. You can fish, you can wade, you can picnic, you can sketch the lighthouse. You could swim, too, though none of these folks are doing so. Or you could be out on the lake.... Lighthouse Park, Port Huron, Michigan.

It's late afternoon at the base of Lake Huron and the sailboats are returning to the marinas. Sarnia's Flag Plaza, shot from Port Huron's. We spend yesterday watching the boats, watching the people, watching the birds, and enjoying the glorious weather. We also found our way to the Fort Gratiot Light, where it turns out there's a marvelous beach; we may well plan our next visit around that knowledge. It's a holiday weekend in both towns, as Canada Day celebrates the creation of the Dominion on July 1 in ways which resemble Independence Day on the American side.
