Our second day on Beaver Island was just as windy as the first, it started out calm but picked up quickly. Went for another bike ride, stopped at the maritime museum and walked to town for ice cream.
Saturday,
Left for Charlevoix at 7am, calm in the harbor and only 1-2 footers all the way. Other than the generator shutting down when we tried to make some toast the trip was uneventful. We had called earlier and was put on a waiting list for a slip, just as we approached the pier head they called and had a slip for us. Hal, the harbor master and 3 dock hands greeted us at our slip. Hal was very friendly and accommodating and even gave us a Looper discount on the slip.

Once we got settled John looked at the generator, first thought that it was something to do with the recent new fuel filters. It turned out to be a disintegrated raw water impeller. due to the generator location and it's sound shield it took a while to install a new impeller and get things cleaned up.

After dinner went for a walk along the docks and spotted several Looper Boats. Enjoyed a nice water and light show at the fountain.
Sunday am woke up to cloudy skies and light rain, so we decided to do laundry. Still adjusting to our new way of life and accommodations for the next year. So far we seem to be doing well.

I especially liked the his and hers pictures of the flowers and the boat houses, very cute. As you get used to life on the boat, we will be used to following your posts. Keep blogging!
