Trip Home to Michigan.

Day #319: Mike and I were up at 6:30 A.M. for coffee, grapefruit and cookies. The two did jobs around the condo and started packing up to get ready to leave on Sunday. The two of us did a bit of shopping in Frankenmuth. Mike and I had lunch in the condo before heading to Bay City. The two of us headed to West Marine in Bay City were we ran into Rick our good friend who was working. The two of us then headed to Bay Harbor Marina to see our friends at the marina.  We saw Chuck, Heidi, Jarrod, Bill and Dan which was great for Mike and I as we miss our friends in Bay City. While Mike and I were at the marina we were able to observe the Coast Guard helicopter working with the Coast Guard launch doing training exercises of pulling a person out of the water lifting the person up to the helicopter and placing equipment onto the launch from the helicopter. After spending time with our friends at the marina Mike and I met my mom and dad at Levi's for dinner. The two of us then headed back to Frankenmuth where we loaded up the car with the gear that we need to take back to the boat. The two of us took a walk in Frankenmuth before having happy hour in the condo. Audrey, our neigherbor stopped by dropping off rhubarb bars off for Mike and I. The three had a great conversion before saying our "goodbyes". It was then time for blogging and guitar playing for Mike and I before heading settling in for the evening.

While at Bay Harbor Marina Mike and I were able to see the tug "Olive L. Moore" with the barge "Menomonee" come into the Saginaw River.
