Well, after 4 days in port due to high waves and even higher winds, we have well and truly looked at the port of Charlevoix. This small town is on the upper North East side of Lake Michigan, and tends to have very tricky weather. It has been a great Marina to stay in, Council owned with great staff. I have caught up on all my maintenance so thought I would give you a few statistics on our trip.
