The tall ships came to Sturgeon Bay. They came down the Lake Michigan shore and then came into the Sturgeon Bay channel on their way to Green Bay for the weekend. A huge crowd of people came out to see them sail through Sturgeon Bay. The ships were beautiful and even fired off some cannon. There were all kinds of boats in the water trying to get close up looks at the ships. The number of people lined up along the miles of shoreline just to see them as they sailed by was amazing.
The heat is finally breaking and it has made us realize how sweaty it could be to work farther south in the summer. We have been helping lots of campers enjoy their vacations. Most of the time it doesn't take much to enhance their stay. We never ask for anything in return but have gotten many small tokens of appreciation. Jim has received expensive cigars and I have gotten locally made candies such as cherry caramels (only in Door County can you find cherry). Jim also was given a small polished piece of jasper in the shape of a heart for helping a man who ended up in the hospital for a couple of days while he was here with his family. We helped the family while Dad was in the hospital. Jim also got their trailer hooked up for them so they could get home without Dad having to exert himself after being treated for a heart ailment.
It is so nice to work somewhere where everyone is just trying to have a good time and relax.
