A second day in the same West Basin Marina but now after hiking all over town trying to find a food market, Debbie discovered we were in fact in St. Joseph MI. Unfortunately the nearest market was beyond her walking distance. However, Debbie found a delightful town on a hill overlooking the St. Joseph River.
Today was Wolf Marine day. We were picked up by the manager of the biggest marine store in the midwest and driven home by the owner. In between we filled a grocer
y cart with all sorts of goodies. They definitely have better prices than West Marine but unfortunately are not located in Florida.

Also we had a generator repair shop pick up our honda generator and then inform us that it would cost about the price of a generator for the parts to fix it. It was so sick we left it with them for the price of "fixing" it! I know what we will be on our Santa list.
While Debbie was hiking, Tom got busy on the computer and downloaded all the maps for the rest of our trip. He also worked out our schedule for the next few days. Tuesday we sail 38 miles to Michigan City IN. At 7:30 a.m. the next morning, wednesday, we move up the River to B&E Marine who will lower our mast. Then on Wednesday or Thursday we motor to Hammond (Indian Harbor) just two miles west of the Calumet River. Friday we may have a mechanic check out our motors if he can fit it in his schedule a day later than planned at a different location. This may not sound like a lot but Tom was very busy revising our schedule.
After mexican dinner and a hike to the lighthouse, we invited Linda and Jack, our troller neighbors from Holland, to visit our boat. Their motor needs work before heading to Mobile.
