Well, we did not really like the marina we were at. We decided to go down Lake Charlevoix to Boyne City. This ended up being the gem of the area for us. We went down the river, off Lake Charlevoix called the Jordan. We could have gone down to a city called East Jordon, but decided to have lunch on the mouth. We looked at a really big house and came back to Lake Charevoix. We had lunch at a place that had a cable ferry. It would run vehicles back and forth across the river. The food at the restuarant was mediocre at best.
When we left the restaurant we went to a beach. In the area we were in there was a campgrounds and sandy beaches on both sides of the lake. We choose our location based on the wind direction so we could be in calm waters. After swimming we pushed on to our new favorite spot, Boyne City. This place was not as touristy as the rest of the cities we had been to, but still catered to the traveler. We had ice cream in a few cities and the price was over $4.oo per cone. I this city we had 3 cones 1/2 pound of Swedish fish and a chocolate covered Oreo and it was $7 and change. We also ran into a block party were the general store was selling the most unusual things for such a reasonable cost (1.95 a micro and 8.95 a pie, a whole pie!).
When we returned to the dock for the night there was a lot of people on our dock. The sheriff and the fire rescue were there. The reason for the commotion was a guy in a late model 30' Thompson, that was for sale, was taking on water. I ended up towing him to the lift pocket across to marina. We ended up popping a fender and causing a ruckus, but saved the boat. After all that excitement we took showers and went to bed. It was going to be an early morning, as we were going to leave to Frankfort.
