Michigan Unsalted

We traveled 80 miles across Lake Michigan today, an 8-hour cruise from Frankfort, MI to Manitowoc, WI. The lake was very calm so it was a pleasant ride.

Our most traumatic event was the discovery that I accidentally purchased salt-free tortilla chips. Ugh! We like our lakes unsalted, but definitely NOT our chips!
This evening we shared a glass of wine with Carol and Dennis, fellow beginning loopers on Reunion, and Kathy and Bob, who we first met in Leland. 


Bob introduced us to this Scottish ditty:

Just a wee deoch an' doris,
Just a wee drap, that's a'.
Just a wee deoch an' doris,
Afore we gang awa'.
There's a wee wifey waiting,
And a wee but n ben.
If you can say "It's a braw, bricht,
Moonlicht nicht," 
Well you're a' richt, d'ye ken!

If only he had brought his bagpipes along....
