Presque Isle and Alpena

 8/9/2021

Left Cheboygan and headed in to Presque Isle. Once again trying to beat rain. We did get in before the rain. Some boats here from TBYC!  Had fun and music with Steve, Linda and Rob. Tuesday we went and found the remains of the shipwreck Albany. (https://thunderbay.noaa.gov/shipwrecks/albany.html

It was cool to see. We also saw the sun and went to the beach!  We have had rain, wind, waves, fog and everything. Rob took us to dinner at Woodys on Grand Lake. 

On Wednesday we headed out with an eye on the weather. A storm was predicted for evening. The waves had built and we decided to visit Alpena Municipal Marina for our first time. It is close to town with shops, a new brewery and a Mexican restaurant. We even ran into a great friend, Renee. We were protected well from the storm and slept peacefully last night.

Another beautiful sunset  Apparently this is home to the “big hot woody”. The Mitten brewery in Northport Back out   Well not as many pictures now.  We left Charlevoix on Wednesday.  We had really enjoyed that marina!  Once out in the lake, we were moving along side the big yacht, The Scout.  Such a beauty!  It is the one shown in our last post.  Soon waves were a moderate size making for a sporty ride😀.  Safely arrived in Northport and actually had a couple hours sitting at the little beach.  That was so nice! Northport did not have any slips open for the next night, so we left and proceeded to Elk Rapids.  This is another beautiful marina.  We did go past Mission Point light but it was far off.  One surprising point I learned is that this bay has a depth of over 600 feet!  Crazy!
