We started off the day with a quick walk to the post office and then a visit to the local farmer’s/artisan market. We had seen a sign about the market the day before and as our trip was to be short today we started out with a quick visit. It was a nice little market with fresh vegetables, cheeses, fresh roasted coffee, and many other goodies. We walked through admiring the bounty, but again, as we are drawing down, we didn’t buy anything.
Today the cruise was initially to South Haven. We started the boat, dropped the lines and cruised slowly out the Kalamazoo river back to the lake. Once back to the lake we were surprised by how rough it was. The NOAA wave predictor had said that it would be, if not smooth, at least not uncomfortable. For the first hour the cruise was a bit rough but eventually it smoothed out and we made good progress towards South Haven.

As we got closer to South Haven I looked at the wind/weather for the next couple of days and it didn’t look too good for Sunday the day we plan to cruise to Michigan City, our stopping point for this leg of the trip. As the water had calmed down nicely, I made an executive decision and we cruised past South Haven and continued on to St. Joseph’s, about another 3 hours of cruising.

We didn’t see much of the town but needed to investigate this statue that we had seen along the waterway as we came into the harbor. So here is the explanation.
Later we did our best to continue to eat as much as we can of our perishable foods. Grilled shrimp, corn on the cob and couscous. Very nice.
