small town surprise

the bay at Frankfort

Southern Cross secured

July 10:Frankfort is one of the harbours we visited along Lake Michigan; nearly all occur up a short channel from Michigan to a small bay or lake. These have generally been formed in places where a river has cut through the sand dunes that form the lake side. It was all very sleepy looking with few folk around. We tied up at the marina but anchoring would have been fine as well. Strolling Main St was quite a surprise with interesting shops tempting both of us to buy: shoes, sweater, t-shirts, etc, as if we did not have enough on board. But I needed white sandals! We had not seen the “Lake Michigan – no salt, no sharks, no worries” T’s before and had to have one. The highlight of the town was dinner at a restaurant called The Fusion. It was packed and served great Asian food that was completely unexpected. It was Fabulous, some of the best anywhere we thought. Probably part of the charm was that it was so unexpected.
