7/17/15 Presque Isle

Conditions on the water today were supposed to be worse than yesterday, so we opted for a second night here.  By noon the winds had died down and fog moved in.  Then the fog dissipated and it was just cloudy.  Tomorrow I imagine all of the boats here will be heading out since conditions are supposed to be good.  We are heading for Harrisville tomorrow, about 60 miles from here. 

This area is the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, 4300 square miles set aside to protect the estimated 116 historically significant shipwrecks here.

Although this marina is very quiet, there is a small store and a very busy restaurant on site, along with hiking/biking trails.

.  This marina had a descent restaurant across the parking lot with both sandwiches and entrees. We had originally opted for pizza on the backside of the sit-down restaurant, but there was a 45 minute wait so we went to the restaurant instead.  Across the road is a store/ deli.  The ice cream window was very busy.  Duke certainly knows where to find ice cream.  He had a doggie cone.
