Today we received horrible news. Our dog Keta has lymphoma. The official test results will not be back until Thursday. We decided to go to Charlevoix and stay there. We have reservations and it can be difficult to get in. The plan is, we stay here until we hear from the vet with the official results. Susan has been in contact with our vet back home and she actually called in another prescription to the pharmacy here. The vet in Bay Harbor also said they would come here to help us if they needed to.
Today's weather is great. It is warm and the wind is light to moderate. Peyton and I went for a bike ride to Lake Charlevoix to check it out while Susan put Pierce down for a nap. We found a fresh fish market on our bike ride. We will go back there later for some fresh fillets for dinner some night this week. We saw their fishing vessels (not the prettiest ships on the earth) and talked to the workers back in the cleaning area.
After Pierce wakes up we will go down to the beach and let the kids run around. The beach is supposed to be very nice and has a concession stand. Dinner will be grilling out at the marina and hopefully meeting more interesting people.
The couple behind us is in retirement and spent the last 4 summers living aboard a 30' sail boat. They have a home here and one in FL. He told me they sailed up from FL along the inter coastal. It took them 3 summers to get to Charlevoix. His wife has a large bird that lives on their boat with them. The bird is cage free. He explained that animals are not meant to be caged...He also said he would not recommend his trip to anyone, as it was very frustrating for him to be dictated by the weather. I would find that to be just part of the adventure. I am not sure what his rush was all about. He also said he rather just sit in the marina now all day. They sure are interesting. He is a rough old sailor and gave some insight on the town and surrounding areas. He talked about the marina area we came from, Bay Harbor; it was a abandoned concrete manufacturing plant before is was purchased and the land was very contaminated. As he put it "some rich bastard came in and bought it all up and then found out it was polluted".
