We are here at Alibi Dock a place so often we enjoyed looking at and discussing the pros and cons of large boats. Once we tied up both Carol and I said “Hey, were at Alibi Dock!” Lots of fond memories over the years.

Stacy, Laura and Horseshoe Island

Today was a Door County Tourist day, climbed the fire tower at Peninsula Park went to Welcher Point in the park, Eagle Point Lighthouse, passed the campers in Tennison Bay, and a view across the bay of Fish Creek. Shopping at the Blue Dolphin, then on to Lunch at Fred and Fuzzy’s on Little Sister Bay.

One of our favorite stops in Door County was the Potter’s Wheel, I have lots of Abe Cohn pots from different years of his production, and he changed styles quite frequently. Abe pass last year and the shop is now closed. Lots of fun things to see and do.

Eagle Point Lighthouse and Carol

We came back to the boat and had chicken thighs on the grill. It began to rain but just in a 3 or 4 mile wide path, in other places the sun was out and the radar showed clearing once the shower passed. So we waited to decide whether to attend the American Folklore Theater. Well, the storm passed radar showed no new storms, a huge rainbow formed over Fish Creek Bay and we attended their performance of “Loose Lips Sink Ships.” A story of a Sturgeon Bay shipyard during World War II, boys going off to war, some staying at home, girl welders in the plate shop, romance and the reunion when the war ended. This is an original play written after much original research, fun, entertaining and very well done. They are doing three shows this summer and we hope to attend at least one additional show while here.

Really Tall Rainbow over the Bay

Stacy and Laura seem to be enjoying their time away here in Door County.
