Foggy, foggy Manitowoc, WI

Foggy morning in Manitowoc, WI

Well the fog has been here from dusk to dawn today.  This morning is was beautiful with all it's blue hues.  Along with the fog there was a light drizzle.  But I must give the folks of Manitowoc credit, nothing stops them.  Next to the marina is a HUGE YMCA where there was a triathlon happening.  Not sure how they did the swimming part out in the bay when you couldn't see your hand in front of your face for a while.  But the event proceeded on.

The triathlon at the YMCA

We passed the YMCA on our way downtown.  We were headed for the farmers market.  I wasn't sure with this crazy weather if it was actually going to happen, but there it was just on the other side of the bridge.

This was one of the biggest Farmers Market we have come across during this journey

On our way back to the boat with a load of fresh produce.

There were so many vendors with tables and tables of fresh fruits, vegetables, local cheese (it is Wisconsin), flowers, food, even a furniture maker was there.  We picked up a bag of peaches, a bunch of carrots, some corn on the cob, tomatoes and some cucumbers.  YUM!  We spent the rest of the morning working on some boat chores, taking showers, reading and having some lunch.  It was a pretty laid back day.  This afternoon Mike and I decided to take a walk over to the lighthouse that I had walked to yesterday.  We started out and noticed that the fog was back.  The poor sun was trying it's best to get through but as you can see from the photos it had a bit of a struggle.  It was eery and beautiful all at the same time.

Early in the afternoon we thought the fog was finally going away.

We were wrong, it came back

These three were not going to let the fog keep them from fishing

Boats had to be careful not to run into one another

After our walk I made dinner out of all the wonderful things we had picked up while we were in Manitowoc.  Fresh bread with tomatoes for some bruschetta, corn on the cob, and some Wisconsin cheese.  

We are enjoying a quiet evening with Mike watching the Packers and me well I am working on the blog.  The weather looks good for us leaving tomorrow, but not sure yet about the fog.  We just have to be patient and wait.
