The salmon are running right now and two of the best places
to catch them are supposed to be here. The
Pere Marquette and Pentwater rivers flow into the mouths of these harbors. Fisherman and fishing boats are everywhere. Apparently you aren’t a serious fisherman
unless you have 20 or more rods set up on your boat! Pentwater was hosting a large
fishing derby and we encountered fisherman who had arrived 5 days early to
“practice” before the big day. At
midnight the marina parking lot was full of fisherman, coming, going and
cleaning fish. At home we don’t even have “fish cleaning stations”. What’s the point for the amount of fish we see?
Pentwater is tiny - really cute, with one main street full of
shops and eating places. We really
enjoyed ourselves there. Ludington is a little
bigger city with a great state park on the sand dunes.
The bicycle life is becoming more normal to us. We ride everywhere, to the grocery store, out
to dinner, etc. It’s amazing how much
you actually see when you ride a bike. We like to think of the money we are saving on
gas. Maybe it helps balance out the boat
fuel…….. 
Leaving Pentwater \Harbor just before sunrise towards Grand Haven
Car ferry from Ludington to Wisconsin went right by us
