Ferry Boat Makeover

It’s not widely known but rumor has it that many fish in Lake Michigan have fallen dorsal over fin at the new look ferry boats heading out of Ludington, Michigan. Apparently cupid has shot his arrows at the pan fry occupants of the vast lake. As a human goes, how do you find the appearance of these ferry boats?

No, the dippy hippy of Mississippi was not the inspiration for this new form of artwork. In fact, I’m not even sure who the artist or artists are but one thing I do know is that you can now see those ferry boats coming from quite a way out! They don’t have to sound their horns very loud anymore because their horns aren’t all that loud anymore considering all things.

I wonder if this new design is just for the Badger or if the Spartan is decked out this way too? I must say that this new design does make our ferry boats stand out. I just hope that the bigger fish of Lake Michigan don’t take them home to meet their mamma’s before returning to port!?

Ludington Ferry Boat Aerial Map to Lake Michigan

With this aerial map it is quite easy to ascertain the location of the Ludington Ferry Boat Docks and the course they travel to Lake Michigan. Tourists can gain a great vantage point to watch these large ferry boats leaving Ludington Harbor almost anywhere along this route.

My favorite, however, is on the breakwater quite close to the Lighthouse as you can almost reach out and touch those boats as you are that close to them. I wouldn’t recommend that vantage point in inclement weather as the waves crash against that breakwater making that venue quite dangerous.

The best vantae point of all is to be on one of those ferry boats heading off to the State of Wisconsin, which I would heartily recommend to all.

A New Badger

It’s almost time for the Badger Ferry Boat to begin crossing Lake Michigan again with cars a plenty however it won’t be this particular Badger. This Badger only crosses streets and avenues. It is used in parades and for special promotions.

One has to wonder about the name for this Michigan ferry boat. Badger? That sounds like something from Wisconsin? Maybe a new ferry boat could be named Wolverine or an existing boat renamed that? That has more of a Michigan feel to it. Now I don’t want to appear to be “badgering” the ferry boat industry with this sort of thing, but Badger, like it or not, does not represent Michigan well.

You know, even The Spartan would make a difference!
