Another day in St. Ignace

We spent a second day in St. Ignace. We did the laundry this morning and fog rolled in and was really thick, so Mike decided to install the new GPS Chart Plotter. He has been working on it all day while I hand him tools. I also had a little time to clean the stove and oven-what fun! Some things really aren't all that different on a boat. It is sunny and hot here now. There has been constant traffic at the gas dock today with sailors from the race fueling up to head home.
Thought I could say a few words about St. Ignace. The marina is fairly new and beautiful. It is easy to get around and their bathrooms and showers are some of the best we've seen. There are hardware stores nearby, plenty of good dining, and a party store. There are also many small shops with all kinds of goodies. They have a nice historic boardwalk that borders Lake Huron much of the time and is a great place for a walk. The grocery store is quite a ways uphill from here and not really very convenient for cruisers. Luckily, Debbie drove me to the grocery store last night to pick up a few things we had forgotten to get on Beaver Island (where there is a wonderful grocery store).
We think it could be a while before we will be able to upload. We will write every day, but we may be out of internet access for some time.
