Departing Beaver Island on the 16th we encountered early morning fog.

Earl A. Young, born in 1889, moved to Charlevoix at the beginning of the 1900's and grew up to become an architect with an unusual flair; houses that are known by some as the "mushroom houses." A few of those are shown here:
A small mushroom house, known by Young as "Half-house", it appears to have been cut-down-the-middle during its creation.
A medium house.
An X-tra large house.
A beach-house on Round Lake.

In the early evening of the 20th PARAMOUR, an Islander sailboat, came in and docked on the opposite side of the dock where SONATA was located. The skipper came in very fast . . . and tried to reverse as he entered the slip, his transmission/throttle handle disconnected due to a loose-screw and rather than going into reverse as intended . . . went full ahead. The boat crashed into the dock, the bow rode up over the dock and then with the help of bystanders was pushed backinto the water. An exciting evening.
PARAMOUR ended up docking next to SONATA in Leland . . . in 20-25 knot winds without incident.
The Lake Michigan water is crystal clear. The water, weeds growing under the bow of SONATA.

SONATA's view of the Leland Marina from Berth #3; arrived in building winds that are to last for a couple of days.
