You must have crossed the water to get there. I noticed Ann Arbor on the map and remember friends lived there once, but now live in the UK. The lighthouse is a beautiful and much needed. What tragedies happened on that coastline, but it's good that there's a memorial and service for those lost at sea.

Its nice to have a mini holiday break. I've not been to your part of the world, the closest I've been is San Francisco. 'Graveyard of ships' gives me the chills, but its places like that that I like to visit than beaches where sunbathers are found.
