Navagation wise a straight shot almost due south. Wind out of the north at 5k to 10k, waves around 1’ to 2’ on the starboard qtr. The ride isn’t bad as the waves are not high, but not as good as waves on the bow. We entered White Lake at 10:15 and had to cruise about another 3 miles to the municipal marina at the eastern end of the lake. White Lake reminds me of Waquoit Bay, only bigger, with no clams. There are a few fisherman, many lake houses, some of them really big, and a few condos. The marina is empty except for Dudden Pilot. We finally caught up with them, but they got away from us the next day when they went to S. Haven and we went to Grand Haven. The town was a nice town, but like most along this coast, mostly summer resort.

Another uneventful cruise, thank goodness. Grand Haven is, relatively speaking, a bigMarina is excellent and just across the street from the town. There is a band shell at the marina and a daily light and water show across the harbor with an excellent view from the boat. All in all, a very good place to stop. Did I mention a MIEJERS store. Kind of like a super WalMart, only bigger. We went nuts and overstocked the refrigerator.
