Tuesday, July 30, 2024: This morning was nothing short of miraculous. When I woke up and looked at the river, in the direction of the bay, I was completely overwhelmed by its beauty. The contrast between the heavy cloud cover and the mirror-like water was breathtaking. The cloud cover lasted for about an hour, creating the most stunning views. I was mesmerized as a fishing boat passed by, heading out into the bay. I walked over to the beach but the view wasn't as great so I quickly walked back to the boat, not wanting to miss another moment. Larry was working and I just sat and stared, finding it difficult to turn my eyes away from the water. I took picture after picture for about an hour before the clouds started to break up. It was amazing to witness. We took our first dinghy ride early so we could go out for breakfast. After tying up on the break wall, we walked through town and spotted Step Inn; a great place with excellent food. Cruising along the river, there was a large industrial building that grabbed our attention. It appeared to be abandoned which prompted us to start dreaming about what we could create if we bought it. The idea of being here with these views on a daily basis is so exciting; however, it completely defeats our desire to travel for extended periods a few times each year. With a quick shake of my head, I'm refocused on what we love most and that is freedom. :-) It's so funny to me that my first reaction to this area when we visited the first time was pure disappointment and now I don't want to leave! It's thrilling to me when we find a marina with nice laundry facilities and this is one of those places. While we waited for each load to wash and dry, we were relaxing on the beach, reading our books. If only it was always this enjoyable to do the laundry. ;-) For our final dinghy ride for this visit to Cheboygan, we went back into town and had fantastic chicken wings at Mulligan's. I definitely want to come back here on future trips. this is the building we were fantasizing about This is funny to me...3 different dinghies pulling up to the gas dock at the same time. Moments after the dinghies left, this yacht pulled up.
