We are officially starting our loop adventure!  We departed Harbor Springs, Michigan on Saturday, August 30th at 8:25am.  There was light rain and swells about 1 ft.  Our destination was Frankfort, Michigan but as we neared the Manitou Islands, the waves picked up to 2-4 ft. and we decided to dock in Leeland, Michigan.  Cute town with a very nice marina.  Several "loopers" saw our burgee and came to introduce themselves which we greatly appreciated --we need to get cards made soon!

The next morning, Sunday, August 31, we left Leeland at 7:25 am following fellow loopers, Bob and Linda Lee on the Errante.  We headed to Sturgeon Bay.  It was cloudy and seas were about 1-2 but really flattened out as we progressed.  About 20 miles from Sturgeon Bay, we changed course and headed for Kewaunee where we docked for the night.

Plans are to head for Racine, WI tomorrow, Monday, Sept. 1st stopping about 1/2 way for the night (most likely Sheboygan) and arriving in Racine Tuesday evening.  Of course, that depends on the weather!  When we get to Racine, we plan to dock there for 2-3 weeks so all our friends and relatives are invited to visit!
