Summer Vacation HOT HOT HOT!!!!

Summer vacation Started out the Hottest one ever, We planned to cruise "Ambiance" from White Hall to Charlevoix and we got her done. The weather was awesome, the water was so smooth we decided to go all the way to Elk Rapids on Our First Day 5 hours of cruising and we were there, and it was so HOT,even the water was warm as bath water. Here's Lake Michigan on a Sunset Night...

On our first day we spent the better part of it in Ludington Michigan at a Craft show, Maryanne Loves her crafts shows. We set sail at 2 pm and Headed out to Frankfort Michigan....What a drive it was... Point Betsie Near Frankfort Michigan.

Passing by Point Betsie...We're Boating Now!!!

We arrived Near Frankfort and decided to swim for awhile it the beautiful waters of Lake Michigan...Floating Ambiance in 9 feet of water, deep enough to get to the cold refreshing water..

Someones going in the water!!!!!

 After our Lovely swim, We decided to go to Leland and settle in for the evening, to bad they were closed so we chose to head out for Elk Rapids two hours away. With waters as clam as they were, it was smooth cruising all the way in, as we broke around the bend into Grand Traverse Bay, I radioed Elk Rapids Harbor Master and they had a slip waiting for us when we arrived at 10PM...

We had plans to stay 4 days in Elk Rapids, joining us on Tuesday was our 2 Twin Grandsons and their Parents, Afton and David..We had a great time, the twins were as active as ever, and with never wanting to get out of the Water.... they were swimming like fish...                     

Afton Going to catch Davie when he jumps, and he was jumping all the time.

Getting the dingy out of the way so all kids could play..

Davie, jumping right on Allysa's head almost, the lil fish wouldn't stay out of the water..

 We even had a chance to get some fishing in, and man did we catch some HUGE ones....

Davie caught Dinner for the evening!!hahaha

And another one, a lil Rock Bass....

Twins Looking for Crayfish instead of fishing..

Dad Baitin the Hook for the boys...

Elk Rapids was a Great Harbor to spend some time with the twins and my Daughter and Son,, but none of this could have happened without my Lovely Wife. Her and I had such a great time on this vacation...spending time with her is awesome and well just plain wonderful....

It was so HOT out, yet at dusk wile underway out on the open water, it was too cool under the Hard Top of Ambiance, Maryanne had to put her Hoodie on....It's important to stay warm, but when we stop, off came the hoodie quickly...Love this Woman.

Ok Remember when I said it was hot...Well here's proof of the Dog Day afternoon's we had.... Gracie is laying on the fiberglass where it's a little cooler when she's outside...instead of chasing Duckies, she's trying to get some rest.....And last pic of the post, the Sun Setting on Lake Michigan, God Country, it's all about God and what he's done with this world.....simply amazing....

And there it is........A beautiful ending to a simply Amazing Vacation, and best thing is.... there's more vacations to come very soon, like Every weekend.....Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
