Mackinaw City

Spent a quiet day, went to the grocery store with Nancy from Dream Fever, met with the group (Dream Fever, General Delivery, and LadyBug) to plan how we will proceed down Lake Michigan. Wayne and  Eddie took a taxi across the Mackinaw bridge to St. Ignace this morning to get Eddie's oil filters. Turned out to be an expensive trip, but they did get to experience crossing the big bridge. Speed limit on the bridge is 40 mph for cars and 20 mph for trucks. Apparently in high winds they close the bridge. Went for a walk between rain showers this afternoon to another new marina beside this one, Straits State Harbor, a new facility and looks beautiful but only four boats there. We ducked into the office out of a passing rain shower, the gentleman in there said that it is the most expensive secret around. One of the boats in that marina is a looper boat, Wayne met the man briefly this morning; we would like to meet them again. Bought fresh whitefish at a store on the waterfront to cook for supper.

  1. Sat Sept 4- 5:00 pm- how is the temperature there- never got above 13* here and has rained most of the day, along with hi winds. - Do you have heat on the boat? Sis Jean

  2. Temperature is in the low 60s, to go down to 59 tonight, plus the wind, so rather cool. We do have heat on the boat, but it actually stays pretty cozy.
