Excellent season as always. The harbor is amazing, the staff is 2nd to none. Its so wonderful year after year the young ppl hired as seasonal help are so good which tells me the harbormaster and assistant harbormaster spend thoughtful time training them. It shows, they are eager, polite and hard working. The person who cares for the gardens clearly loves their job, The gardens around both pavilions and the herb garden are lovely. I would say the only issue we have would be some cranky old guy constantly complaining about anything and everything to whomever will listen. Thank God most ppl roll their eyes and steer clear. \nOur interactions with Mike Singleton have always been great, Elk Rapids is well served by having a smart, savvy, mechanically inclined, retired Coastie at the helm. Assistant Harbormaster Laurie is most capable at her job. She's fantastic with the young people who are the seasonal help, training and guiding them. I was at the gas dock office when a rude overbearing demanding, person flew in the door, Laurie immediately took the high road, clearly knowing how to deal with type of person, she deescalated the situation and moved on. Very impressive!
