Day 26 and 267 Ludington

Leaving Manitee, we were in dense fog with visibility of about 1/4 mile...we wouldn't have made it without radar or GPS as there were at least 100 fishing boats out from shore all the way to Ludington. We felt like we were threading our way through a
maze. Luckily, it was only 28 miles and the lake was pretty calm. It would've been nicer if could see though.... They take fishing seriously here in Ludington too...This fish cleaning station was beautiful; we'd never seen one like it-it is part of the park around the marina.
The Ludington Marina is another municipal run facility. This one is the best one yet with beautiful grounds, nice showers, etc and a community room and deck for boaters...you can see the deck in the background.

This is a view of the park in the harbor...sail sculpture and picnic tables and a gazebo shelter.








Here is one of the sculptures in the park..a commemoration to the lumber industry of the past.



This is another sculpture of children playing with the sail sculpture and harbor entrance in the background. There is a beautiful playground area with many picnic tables, grills and a fully enclosed shelter. We've enjoyed staying here and downtown is only 2 blocks away.
