The sun was shining, the sky was blue and the wind was light. Thus a great day for cruising! We had to wait about ten minutes for the bridge opening.
Today's destination is Leleand.
The town was built on the site of the oldest and largest Ottawa village on the Leelanau Peninsula. The center of the town is the historic "Fishtown" with its wooden shanties. Across from where we were docked was a beautifully restored boat. The owner came over to question me about the AGLCA platinum flag flying on my boat's bow. After an interesting conversation, he introduced himself as John Winn, one of the founding brothers of Four Winns Boat Company and owner of the home and boathouse on Round Lake in Charlevoix. Around 6:00 p.m. we got together for dinner with Warren and Kristin Baumann. We met Warren and Kristin last summer while they were bringing their trawler from Annapolis to Sutton Bay. We sure had a great time discussing the highs and lows of the trip.
