Let's talk about what is so great about Michigan especially the Upper Peninsula. I have lived here my entire life but I continue to find new and wonderful things to visit and learn about.

Alpena in the Fog
Last Friday morning, one of my Facebook friends, Teresa Parker, from St. Joseph's Island took these wonderful photos of the Alpena as she came up the St. Marys River in the early morning fog. She graciously agreed go let me share them with you.
She took the pictures at Sailors Encampment on St. Joseph's Island. They are very beautiful.
Today was a great boat-watching day after a clunker yesterday. I only saw the Algosoo on Sunday but here is what I spotted today.

Alpena
Our temperature almost reached 80 today but it is heading back into the 60's tomorrow. It was a beautiful , calm day on the water. We saw lots of fishing boats and wave runners in spite of the 'Do not touch' order from the Health Dept. because of sewage that was dumped in the river. :(

Love the pics. The Alpena is one of my favorites on the river. She is one of the oldest but she is such a pretty boat to look at for an older boat.
Super pictures. The Alpena is the most beautiful boat on the Great Lakes. Be nice to see her up in Duluth again sometime
