We were underway at 0515 in the morning. It was pitch dark, but a fishing tournament was happening that day and it would be extremely conjested in the harbor at daylight, so we wanted to beat the fisherman out of the harbor. But it was still crowded ! We had to wait to get in line as a steady stream of boats poured passed us into the channel. Before leaving Frankfort, the first pic shows swans diving for fish—which we saw many times—swan butts. Of course the journey to Pentwater was not without some excitement as we ran into a commercial fishing operation as they were running their nets. The next 2 pics shows the commercial tug and an able bodied fisherman diving to cut some lines. But we arrived in Pentwater early. The last pic shows how seriously they take fishing on Lake Michigan.
My beloved Pentwater! All while growing up my family spent a couple weeks each summer camping at Charles Mears State Park. Some of my fondest memories in life are of Pentwater. Those little Michigan coastal towns are gems indeed. Thanks for sharing and making my afternoon. Hope you get out of Chicago soon!
