We left Beaver Island Wednesday and headed across Lake Michigan to Washington Island.  It was a beautiful day, with rolling waves that were tolerable.  The night at anchor was peaceful and quiet.  This morning we got up, made some eggs, realized we are an hour too early, and slowly took off for Fish Creek, Wisconsin.  

Below are three different views from our boat as we set out from Beaver Island.  Notice all the other boats around?  We saw a ship as we started out and no other boats out there.

When we finally got close to land we saw this lighthouse peeking out at us from Rock Island, WI.  

Near the Rock Island lighthouse were gorgeous white high cliffs.  Just love Wisconsin.

Most loopers take the Michigan side down to Chicago.  They really miss out on a beautiful area.  

There was a Beach filled with people, at our Washington Island anchorage.  By 5:00pm they were all gone and we were left with the beautiful sunset.

It really was a peaceful night.

Today we went into town at Fish Creek.  Mike took this picture of a restaurant and wine bar called the Cookery.  He thought it might be a newer restaurant in Fish Creek.  We both enjoyed revisiting this old stomping ground.  Shared and reminded each other of memories at Fish Creek and Peninsula State Park.  

Due to the up and coming weekend we were only able to get one night at Fish Creek Municipal marina.  We will be heading to Sturgeon Bay tomorrow morning.  

We bought our 2017 Wisconsin fishing licenses today.  Hope to do some salmon fishing on Lake Michigan, as we head towards home.
