Rogers City, MI August 5, 2016

We went to bed about 8:30 last night. I guess we were tired travelers. But did we go to sleep? No - instead we were serenaded by an Oom-pah band playing polka music. They were actually pretty good and we enjoyed the music.  A lot of it sounded the same, but I did recognize the old standby favorites, Roll Out the Barrel and She's Too Fat for me. The band is part of the harbor fest activities going on here. It's a big weekend in Roger's City for sure.

I walked out on the pier to get a marina picture this morning. There is a very nice sitting area there too. We may do our cocktail hour there tonight. BTW, I am happy to report that we were not invaded by spiders last night. I did find a big dead one on the dock lines I sprayed with bug killer.

After breakfast we took a bike ride. Wayne picked a couple of nice marina bikes for us so we did not have to unpack ours. There is a nice trail that goes to a lighthouse 6 miles away. We did not make it to the lighthouse, but stopped a couple places along the beach and had a great time walking and choosing special rocks to take home to Aubrey and the boys. It was a very, very nice morning.

We had lunch on Annie's top deck. The tops to our sandwiches kept blowing off. It is really windy today, and much cooler. I even wore a sweatshirt for cocktails. We are so glad we left Mackinaw City and came here yesterday. It is supposed to be just a little less windy tomorrow, then go light for several days. If we can, we will go to Presque Isle tomorrow to enjoy their nature trails. It's about 15 miles south of here.

We visited the library's book sale and the arts and craft show, then the grocery. Our only purchase was a bunch of books from the library, and groceries of course. Kerry took a nap when we got back to the boat. I started to read James Patterson's book "Sail", which I got from the library. Kerry's knee has been really painful. She called her doctor today to get evaluated for a knee replacement.

Dinner was Italian sausage and fries from the carnival which we enjoyed on Annie. A pleasant after dinner walk was the end of a very nice day in Rogers City.
