Day 22 - Ludington to Pentwater Lake - July 28, 2011

A short trip today, just 14 miles from Ludington to Pentwater Lake.  Although overcast skies are predicted (and perhaps some rain), we are going to anchor out.  We checked out a number of spots around the lake where we are told people anchor, and we finally select the northeast shore of the lake.  The small bays on the south side of the lake (Little Bayou and Big Bayou) are suppose to be good spots for anchoring, but it appears that the home owners around those bays have put out mooring balls for their own boats which makes very little room for anyone else.  Highway 31 runs near our anchorage, so we aren’t quiet and secluded, but it is still beautiful and I’m sure as evening comes, much quieter.
