Racine, WI

Bob and I headed to Racine, 25 miles south of Milwaukee.  Again the recently developed harbor was beautiful with condos, hotels, and a beautiful marina with pool (sorry Sally, you missed it). 

Bob and I explored Racine's main street about 3 blocks from the boat.  Lots of restaurants and shops (used clothing, women's stuff, artsy stuff, etc.).  There was West Marine store that was closing with huge markdowns on some items.  I got some rope so several of our bigger fenders could be raised and lowered more easily and a AM/FM/CD player demo that was marked down to $5.  The one on the fly bridge does not work and the sale unit is the same brand so I am hoping it can plug into the existing wiring making installation easier.

Racine Harbor and waterfront

Giant disposal for unwanted fish parts.

On our morning work 8-10 fishermen (obviously on an overnight or early morning fishing trip) were cleaning some nice sized fish at the fish cleaning station.  The station had two giant waste grinders (huge garage disposals) disposing of the unused fish parts.  If you didn't mind a little splatter, it was a great way to get rid of unwanted fish parts.
