Now for a scary moment, Roy behind the wheel and me standing on the bow.


Carolyn and Roy enjoying the moment as we all did!!


OK it's time for half of us to take a little cruise out to the Pier Light.. The first group was chosen by one repesentative of each family who has a camera just in case there isn't a second trip because the boat might be needed for an emergency run..


Jake's not covering his ears to something I am saying but to the ship's horn.. It was very LOUD!


We're off! Looking back at the other group left on shore still holding the short straw so to speak..


Earlier in the morning we almost didn't get to take the ride on the boat as they received an emergency run early in the morning.. It turned out to be a false mayday call, which is really disgusting that someone would do that.. It cost a lot of time and money not to mention that if something else would have really happened they wouldn't have been able to go..


The city of Michigan City, by the way, has put a bid in to buy the lighthouse.. The city already owns the catwalk and the pier is owned by the federal government..
