(Report by Jim) I got the Leland Report jeep out on the road for the first time in a while! I took the drone up to Peterson Park up in Northport after the winds finally died down a little. After that, I headed down to the beach for some long exposure wave action. I’m heading back to Illinois tomorrow, thanks… Read more »

(Report by Jim) A nice calm afternoon before sunset is the best time to take in the beach on Lake Michigan and take advantage of friends with a private beach! The location allowed me to send the drone a mile downshore with a unique view over the back of Whaleback. This will also help me compare the beach when… Read more »

(Report by Jim) My morning swim/bath was interrupted by the sky show above me. Both directions were worthy of a photo, which is rare because I rarely shoot into the sun. The Leland Report’s Islands 17 is rigged and ready to sail after some maintenance work. The mast is bent after a minor failure and crash onto… Read more »

(Report by Jim) I was working most of the day and did not get out, but I have plenty of material from the last few days to work through. This is the current shoreline from a mile south to a mile north of Leland. I’ll be combining this with another run this Summer to compare the difference. Hopefully, it will… Read more »

(Report by Jim) Work from home day today, but we took some time to have lunch at Knot Just a Bar in Omena. Up at Leelanau State Park Trail earlier this week we found a huge piece of tree fungus with some engravings on it. And the Biscuit Report! The 2020 Leland Report Calendar is available for $15.99+$2 shipping!… Read more »

(Report by Jim) Merry Christmas from our families to yours! My nephew Matt and I went up to Mud Lake to do some drone shots. It’s amazing the things you can see if you change your perspective. Down at the end of Onomonee Rd is what we call Sunset Beach for good reasons. But the view from above is just… Read more »

Report by Jim Today was a day for having the drone up so I headed down French Rd and Gauthier, Lake Leelanau and up Bay Hill for some shots. I was planning on leaving for Illinois today, but lingered a bit too long. Tomorrow should be stunning as well, so I’m heading down M22 to Pt. Betsie and Frankfort, and… Read more »

(Report by Jim) Water was glass on the North end of Lake Leelanau this morning, so I took out the kayak for a few miles. That was my workout for the day because the wind picked up and I was battling it the whole way back. Also, nothing makes a sailing trip as satisfying as having to make minor repairs… Read more »
