Total Miles Traveled: 5887


  Friday we continued our stay in Leland.  The wind and waves were too high for travel - this is becoming a common theme for our trip on Lake Michigan.  Fortunately, Leland was a nice town to stay and extra day or two.  The morning was spent relaxing and catching up on emails and Facebook.  Before lunch we took a quick trip to the local grocery store for a few items needed for dinner.  We had lunch at Rick's Cafe located in Historic Fishtown right near the dam for Lake Leelanau.  It was a nice day inspite of the wind.  We ate outdoors and enjoyed the sites and sounds of the water flowing over the dam and the bustle of Fishtown.  After lunch we walked some more around the town.  One interesting find was a Huntington Bank located in a Victorian home.  Its ATM was housed in an enclosed gazebo building.

  Several more Loopers braved the seas and arrived from the north part of Lake Michigan.  Bill & Laura of "Bayou Gypsy" organized a docktail party complete with printed invitations.  There were too many that attended to list.  A good time was had by all.
