Great Loop: Grand Haven Michigan
Light House at Entrance to Grand Haven Channel Grand Haven is a lovely town. One in which it is easy to linger. Recreation, at least in the summer time, has clearly become an important part of it's story. From talking to locals, they shared that refugees from Florida's summer heat also migrate to town and then return to Florida for the winter. New loft apartments are under construction along the waterfront. Perhaps to serve this population. There is also a sizeable Coast Guard Base in town. Grand Haven loves their Coasties! Every year there is a Coast Guard Festival which draws a large number of visitors. If you are in the area during the Festival, stop by and honor those that serve. We arrived in Grand Haven after a 68 mile run south from Ludington. This picture was sent to us by another Looper who got the shot from their drone as we were in transit. It was very nice of them to send us a shot of Amy Marie underway...
