Drive to Mainitowoc to buy rum from Fiji and Vodka from Latvia. Well, it is a port city! We find the Museum on the Manitowoc river where it meets Lake Michigan, then off to lunch! (Manitowoc, translated from Ojibwa is Dwelling of the Great Spirit.)
Mark Karolus' recommendation for lunch in Manitowoc is the Courthouse Pub.

I came back from a head call and found this on the table. I start looking for what Barney Fife might have delivered such a thing! Inside is the check.

There she is. SS-245 USS Cobia. The real thing! Along the waterfront is also the 65-foot staysail schooner Utopia out of Sturgeon Bay, WI. The Great Lakes Carferry SS Badger loads in the background for her next run to Ludington MI. Summer round-trip tickets for the SS Badger are $196.00 per car/minivan. It's a 4 Hour voyage.
