Great Loop - Let the Adventure Begin
Normal routine today. Mike got up and took puppies out. Then he went to the local bakery in Boyne City. We got the boat ready for us to take off. We had breakfast with family at Café Sante and then everyone came to the boat and took a bunch of pictures. We put our Great Loop flag on the front of the boat, pumped out, and got diesel at The Harborage Marina. We were then on our way.

It was pretty cool to see Sleeping Bear Dunes from this view!
