Back on The Water....

Well we're back on the water after a delightful week with family for the July 4th celebration. We were in Iowa at my cousin's lake cottage with several other family members. Their cottage in on Holiday Lake which is literally between fields of corn. For as far as you can see there is corn and then this lovely lake community! We have been going to Holiday Lake for several years now and it's always such fun. Believe it or not the fireworks display is the best I've ever seen. Now I know in the bigger cities like Chicago, New York, DC it's over the top. But for this lake community it's amazing! Better than anything I've ever seen in Evansville.
Anyway we had a fun time, but now back to the Great Lakes as we make our way to the North Channel and Canada. 
We arrived in Boyne City, MI on Sunday afternoon about 5, unloaded the car and went to BRI (Boyne River Inn) for dinner. Great little pubby kind of place and really good food. This morning we cleaned the boat and did a grocery run and left the marina about 1:30. We had a great sail down the lake, tacking all the way. Took us about 3  1/2 hours to travel Lake Charlevoix to Oyster Bay. Here we are for the  night.
So we've had dinner, played our one Gin Rummy game and now are getting ready for bed. It's just after 10PM and it's still daylight! Crazy! Tomorrow we're off to Beaver Island. No Diane and Vince... we will  not do any bicycling! Way to risky for Miss Margo.
We miss everyone at home. Stay well and know that we love  you.
Love and Blessings,
Margo and Skip
