Irish Boat Shop in Harbor Springs, MI

Day #19: Up at 7 A.M. we had light rain showers throughout the night. The sun is out it is warm and humid. Issue today is that Mondays winds have increased so we are looking at our options. Mike has written down our Plan A, B and C. We will need to wait until Monday morning to see what the wind speed and directions actual produce but feeling a bit stressed as we have commitments at marinas from Leland to Frankfurt for the next week. We went for a 3 miles walk along the water with beautiful homes and cottages. We found numerous beautiful springs. Working on a few boat jobs as it is clouding up. Another 2 miles walking under our belt today for a total of 5 miles. We had lunch we are continuing to watch the weather for tomorrow. The sun came out so we put the dinghy in the water it was partly sunny and warm. We were in the dinghy for a few hours before it clouded up with the threat of rain so we returned to the "Parrot Bay". It only sprinkled on and off for the rest of the afternoon. The winds tomorrow get better one time that we look and get worse the next time. We are planning on getting up at 6 A.M. to evaluate the weather to see if we are going to stay at Harbor Springs or leave for Leland. I did call Leland to make sure that they have a reservation for us and they do have our reservation. Mike talked to Mark and Amanda. FaceTime with my Mom and Dad. We are planning on a quiet evening.
On our morning walk was passed by the spring that Amanda had given us directions. Just beautiful.

These type of springs are all over Harbor Springs.

Each spring is decorated a bit differently.

A spring as a water fountain.

This spring decorated with cobblestone. 

I couldn't help myself this was one spring that we found on our walk. Yup the spring is the dog peeing. 

Along with the springs are beautiful walkways as well.

We took the dinghy out to the Little Traverse Light.   The bell is the old fog horn.
