Started off the Vacation this year, Wanting to Head up to Leland Michigan, we didn't get that far up North, but still had a great time where we did end up....FrankFort Michigan. We Headed up the West Coast of Michigan in Ambiance on Sunday.

The Day was sunny and beautiful, We were headed out in the afternoon....
Some of the Views from the Dock...Cat tails to the Clubhouse....
Ambiance was washed and dryed, ready for the North Country....First Port..Ludington Michigan.
Waiting for Fuel in Whitehall, man it took a long time for that boat to fuel up and pump Out...
Allyssa, just waiting with lines to tie up to fuel dock, it was a 30 minute wait for sure.....
The rest of this Day was fighting 7 foot Waves, We headed out into 1-3 footers and before we arrived at Ludington, they were Large, 6-7 foot swell, Splasing clear over the top of the roof.I didn't have time to take pictures, in these waves, as it was the camera went Flying down the stairs but was OK!
Pulling into Ludington , here's a pic of the Spartan, a Car Ferry used strickly for parts.
And this is the Badger, the last Coal Fired car ferry and due for a Change in 2014, can't burn coal no more...
