Chapter 58
David was right. The sunrise was glorious ... Michigan ... Lake Michigan ... doesn’t smell like the ocean and the morning breeze is a gentle reminder that the day is ahead and there are things to do ... even if it’s just sip and stare. Ludington’s breakwater has a pair of fairly squat lighthouses that the rising sun illuminated. The north light glowed with a soft reflection of the clouds sun-show. It was quick. I knew where to look. A life at sea does that. In the twelve years of sailing, I had seen the storied green flash five times.
I Oooed and Aahhed appropriately ... but I was the only one of us that saw the white lighthouse turn the colors of the rise. The rest of them were watching the rise.
More than satisfied, I smiled at the coffee in the bottom of my cup and sipped it.
My turn.
“Missy ... the cart?” I said but then saw it at the end of our dock. “Good girl.
“Breakfast?. I’m buying.”
Four fit the golf cart. Missy behind the wheel and we were off.
This part of Filer Street isn’t ... part of Filer. It’s parking for the two Salmon Charters and the Municipal ... but it’s paved and we were driving on it ... Filer was as good a name as any other. Left on Williams and right just past Loomis. At the green Missy cut across to the alley at Rath and left again.
Across Ludington Ave, past Table 14 and Cafe 106. Table 14 was closed but 106’s doors were open ... the lights were on but nobody was there. By nobody ... I mean nobody.
