After sleeping late, we decided to walk in to town to mail a letter. Main Street is just a couple of blocks from the Marina. There are a number of restaurants and shops on Main Street, but also evidence of some empty store fronts. Maybe the businesses couldn't survive in the downtown area and moved toward other shopping centers.
After walking around for a while, we stopped in and had lunch at one of the local restaurants. Since it was nothing to write home about, I won't mention the name.
We are staying another day so that we can get together with another Nordic Tug owner and his wife. They are Chicagoans, but keep their boat here in Racine. Three years ago, we met at the Great Lakes Nordic Tug Rendezvous in St. Ignace, MI.
Our goal is to leave Friday, weather permitting, for Chicago. The AGLCA Harbor Hosts, Woody and Ellen Sutton are hosting a dinner for all of the loopers at their condo. Food will include Chicago pizza, Italian beef sandwiches and Eli's cheesecake.
