Who carries small change?<br />Don't plan to explore South Manitou (Island) again!<br /><br />by Margie M.<br /><br />This poem was inspired by a journey by some Duneswood guests to South Manitou Island, summer of 97. There is only one ferry over and one ferry back to the mainland each day. SO it is very crucial to not miss the boat..... as these gals found out. I knew they were in trouble when late in the afternoon Marge and I got a phone call asking if we knew anyone with a boat. It all turned out fine (minus some cash). One of those adventures never to be forgotten.<br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29650647-116360279069767506?l=duneswoodconnections.blogspot.com'/></div>duneswoodconnectionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15072325558362588624noreply@blogger.com0
