During the War of 1812, towns people hoisted lanterns into the surrounding trees and the British Cannon fire landed harmlessly in the woods! In the 20th century, fishing and ship building has dominated the area. Really is a wonderful romantic get away!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/?attachment_id=1215\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1215\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1215\" style=\"width: 704px;\" alt=\"2010_10_23_17_32_06_AWB-049\" src=\"http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2010_10_23_17_32_06_AWB-049.jpg\" width=\"2304\" height=\"916\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Upon arriving St Michael harbor using the VHF Radio Annette requested a slip from the dock master. As luck would have it, the assigned slip was right in front of a restaurant featuring Alfresco dining. We managed, with Magnolia\u2019s help to safely dock without any winds or currents sending us askew! Always the most embarrassing moments. As any boat owner will tell you, most days you watch the entertainment at the dock, but some days you are the entertainment! That day we were not, simply humble and thankful!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/?attachment_id=1217\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1217\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1217\" alt=\"2010_10_23_16_32_12_AWB-045\" src=\"http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2010_10_23_16_32_12_AWB-045.jpg\" width=\"3072\" height=\"2304\" srcset=\"http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2010_10_23_16_32_12_AWB-045.jpg 3072w, http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2010_10_23_16_32_12_AWB-045-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2010_10_23_16_32_12_AWB-045-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3072px) 100vw, 3072px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/?attachment_id=1214\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1214\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1214\" alt=\"2010_10_23_20_06_24_AWB-060\" src=\"http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2010_10_23_20_06_24_AWB-060.jpg\" width=\"3072\" height=\"2304\" srcset=\"http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2010_10_23_20_06_24_AWB-060.jpg 3072w, http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2010_10_23_20_06_24_AWB-060-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2010_10_23_20_06_24_AWB-060-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3072px) 100vw, 3072px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/?attachment_id=1213\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1213\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1213\" alt=\"2010_10_23_21_24_18_AWB-062-B\" src=\"http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2010_10_23_21_24_18_AWB-062-B.jpg\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1343\" srcset=\"http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2010_10_23_21_24_18_AWB-062-B.jpg 1680w, http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2010_10_23_21_24_18_AWB-062-B-300x239.jpg 300w, http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2010_10_23_21_24_18_AWB-062-B-1024x818.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We enjoyed a lovely dinner and awoke to a spectacular view to of the harbor.
