Nicolet Bay to Fish Creek

Sometimes you catch more than fish

We woke up to a glorious morning on Nicolet Bay – good thing, since we lost anchorage for a few minutes yesterday evening.  After that, Dennis set the anchor alarm and every time the boat moved 50 feet (not very far for a 40 foot boat!) we heard beep- beep-beep and Dennis jumped out of bed to check on our location relative to the rocks near shore. 

Late morning we headed back to Fish Creek to meet Scott, Kim and baby Autumn who arrived for the weekend.  Autumn looks so much bigger after not seeing her for a few weeks.  We took a walk to the fudge store, a top priority, and then to visit a pottery and the grocery market to pick up a few things for breakfast.

Fish Boil, dinner is in there somewhere

 

This evening we went to Fish Boil at the White Gull Inn – the best fish boil I’ve experienced yet.  It included a grade A Cherry Pie.   You may not know this, but our family are connoisseurs of cherry pie.  A couple of years ago, while visiting Door County, we picked up 9 different cherry pies and had a very serious tasting competition.  White Gull Inn did very well in the ratings. 

Maybe in the next few days we’ll head toward Gills Rock and pick up the first place, award-winning Bea’s Ho-Made Cherry Pie.  Until then we will continue to enjoy this beautiful weather – quite a change from the last week of chill and clouds.
