Elk Rapids Marina was the nicest municipal marina that we stayed in so far. It was recently upgraded and they did a great job. There was a good beach with plenty of sand and gentle water for swimming. We could walk out about 100 feet into the water and the level still only came to our knees. 
We took a day trip to Old Mission Point Bay, anchored, had lunch,  and spent the afternoon swimming off the back of the boat. A fun way to spend the day.

Come in, the water's delightful.

I guess we worked our guest too hard.

We also picked up our first volunteer crewperson. He was with us for the next five days. John was someone CJ met through the Trawler-World email list and we all enjoyed his company and were glad to have his help. It was nice to have a guest complete with new conversation, bread, and presents. He also had a car and took us to the grocery store. The boat was a little crowded, but all managed just fine.
