That is All for Lake Huron

Well we did not want to linger on Lake Huron and we certainly did not want a repeat of 2008 when 4-6 foot seas was a good day for us to travel, so we took advantage of the flat water and here we sit in beautiful Mackinaw City.  We are at the old marina because we were not aware of a brand new state run marina, called Straits State Marina, right next door.  They have floating docks and new facilities all around. 

We are going to spend a few days here to get caught up on things, such as, these updates now that WiFi is available and also the looper locator.  I can't stand the complaints so hopefully the problems have been rectified.  Other more important things like checking the fluid levels on the engines and getting the fresh water pump working will get done before the heat of the day tomorrow.  We also plan on getting the dinghy out to do some swimming and general beach relaxation.  The water is so clear up here that Linda was warning me of rocks that were 20 feet below the water.  It was a beautiful day to travel until, you guessed it, more fog patches.  Fortunately the fog lifted before we got into the heavy traffic areas around Mackinac Island.

I'll let you know what else this stop brings in a couple of days.

  1. Well, we're two lakes behind you but will be on our way later today. It's hard right now to catch up the blog...and from the sounds of it, there's not a lot of time ahead to do it either, eh? Keep her floating and see you in a month or so.
