I noticed that Seth from Sport ‘n Life had called on the direct-connect, and buzzed him back to chat a bit. They were on their way by car to MacRay Harbor where they had left their boat on the way back from their trip last week. They hoped to bring it back to their home port of Cedar Point today. | ||||

We followed the coastline around
the peninsula where the Tawas Light is, and the water shoals to a
shallow depth. At 2:30 we made the Tawas Point #2 red buoy, then
turned directly north to cross Tawas Bay and into the East Tawas
State Dock.
A few minutes later we pulled up at the fuel dock, where we took on 126 gallons of gas and got a pump out. We were assigned slip #48, where we docked at 3:30, just across from Lime Cutter. |

After hooking up the water and power we strolled the short distance down the docks and across the parking lot into town. East Tawas appeared to be a nice busy bustling place. We passed some nice gift shops and first went into Marmar Gourmet, where we picked up some appetizers, I had a cup of espresso, and we bought some wonderful decadent Gran Marnier and Amaretto truffles. I also found another store that offered an interesting combination of cigars and propeller repair. Sounds like my kind of place. | ||||
We showered when we got back to the boat, before meeting up with Lime Cutter for 7:00p.m. cocktails on the dock. It started to sprinkle, so we sat on their boat for a while, and when it cleared we headed back into town. | |
The gals did a short shopping tour, while Jim and I sat outside at
Chum’s Bar for a beer. The rain chased us back inside, where we all had
dinner. After devouring the nightly special of fish and chips, we meandered
through town and finished up with ice cream cones.
Back at the boat, Gina used a coupon for two hours of wi-fi internet access, while I enjoyed a cigar and “watched” the end of the Detroit Tiger baseball game on my phone. It’s starting to feel a little ‘anti-climatic’ and sad as our cruise comes down to the final days. It does help to stop at new places that we haven’t been to before, and I’d like to stop back to East Tawas again sometime. |
