September 24, 2009 - Ludington, Michigan

We departed Frankfort for our night’s destination of Ludington. Along the way, a hilltop, lake front golf course shone in the morning sun.
A bit later, Little Sable Point Light was our coastal sentinel.
Once in the harbor, we passed a decommissioned car ferry, the Spartan. It docks next to the dock for the active ferry, the Badger, which was its normal run to Wisconsin.
The lake comprising the harbor at Ludington is Pere Marquette Lake. Here is the Father Pere Marquette Memorial, commemorating this French missionary/explorer.
We approached our marina for tonight.
Here is Monarch, as we wait for our friends, Chuck and Linda Throm from the Detroit area, to join us for the night. They drove all the way across the state to see us, take us to dinner, spend the night, and enjoy breakfast aboard. What a treat for us!
