We caught a ride into church and then early afternoon we
left for South Haven. Lake Michigan was
calm and we stayed close to the shoreline because of the easterly winds. We arrived at the South Haven Municipal Marina and docked
right next to a Looper. We met Nancy and
Tom Rae on Terrapin from Petoskey, MI. They
just started their loop. While we were
securing our lines, a familiar face was yelling at us from the road. It was Theresa from Miss TeRae. They were on the loop last year. Later Don and Theresa invited us to go the
American Legion fund raiser BBQ and we
accepted along with our new friends. It was a fun evening exchanging new and old boat stories. That evening we witnessed a
picturesque sunset from the pier
Later that evening we walked up to the Black River Tavern to
watch the Cowboys play the Giants. Hooray, the Cowboys won! It was worth staying up until midnight to
watch the game!

The first South Haven lighthouse was built in 1872 and was
made of wood. It was replaced in 1903 by
a steel lighthouse which is still in use today.
In 1923 it was electrified with a 200 watt blub.
