Wednesday, August 2, 2023 Harrisville
Lying in bed I heard a halyard banging so I figured it must be windy out. But it was actually rather still when I popped my head out. The harbor was quiet. One big trawler left early but that was the only movement.
Peter came over for his cappuccino and had his iPad with him, indicating we were having an official skipper's meeting too. The question was when to travel next. We searched Windy, Predict Wind, Ventusky and NOAA for the answer. We kept coming up with the same answer - Saturday. If forced we could travel earlier, but it would not be comfortable, especially crossing Saginaw Bay. We could do Harbor Beach on Saturday, then Lexington or Port Huron on Sunday. Neither of us have a pressing day we need to be back which is nice. We will likely stop at Algonac. We would like to go from Algonac to Middle Bass Island and skip Milliken. It would be about 75 miles and we would want some help from Lake Erie with favorable conditions.
From the internet we learned two things about Harrisville. First, the nice downtown grocery is permanently closed. Bummer! We had planned to provision there. Second, the Precious Paws Humane Society Store that Kerry loves is still open. While Kerry was shopping I checked my Fitbit sleep score and saw that I had an 87 last night. I think that is my best one ever. Wow.
I took a bike ride before Kerry got up. I did a circuit around the two main roads and found two hardware stores, but not much else other than two dollar stores. The pizza store ia closed too. Once Kerry was up we got marina bikes and went to the Humane Store, Precious Paws. Kerry really likes that store and bought 3 books and 3 tops. We had planned to go to Teresa's Restaurant but it was getting late for lunch and we were having dinner at 5:00. Instead we went back to Annie and I cooked a steak on the stove. It was very good and really unusual for us to have a tasty steak for lunch. I could get use to it if I had too.
Love the dog poem! All my books go on Kindle now. Nice store Kerry was shopping in! Sunny and 80’s here. Food looks great! Safe travels!
