    Day 5: Frankfort to Ludington

    7.–8. okt., Forente stater ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

    Preston makes the coffee and cooks biscuits and sausage for breakfast. I think it's going to take the entire voyage for me to get Rosie to say 'biscuits' and not 'scones'. We're off the dock at 0830, by the light of a harvest moon.
