After breakfast I checked in with the marina office, since we arrived last night after they had closed. We then rode our bikes back to the truck to pick up a small air compressor so I could pump upWeiterlesen

Slept in. After breakfast, Rosanne relaxed reading, and I was on the computer reading and doing email. After lunch I got our bikes down and Mike borrowed one of the marina's loaners. We rode aroundWeiterlesen

This morning I enjoyed the Corvette Show in the Straits Marina parking lot, while Rosanne browsed the Craft fair in the park next door. Mike on Ms. Jill had left earlier to get over to Mackinac IslandWeiterlesen

Another nice day on Mackinac Island. This morning I streamed my church service from Christ Lutheran Church Stoughton. I was able to catch the sermon and then joined Rosanne a few minutes late for theWeiterlesen

Early afternoon, but probably not much more to report later. Woke up this morning to a rockin' rollin' boat. Winds shifted to out of the east last night and were blowing pretty good. This marina isWeiterlesen
ReisenderThanks for sharing. Can't wait to get up there. Hopefully next year.

So yesterday afternoon I did get one more bike ride in around the island while Rosanne spent time in the library. The east winds blew up a lot more chop on the water than what we had seen last time weWeiterlesen

Got up this morning and checked in with the marina harbor master, since he was not here when we got in last evening. Had a great night's sleep, as this marina is much more protected than MackinacWeiterlesen
ReisenderVery Cool! Which side of the lake are you planning to travel?
ReisenderWell just be between St. Ignace, Mackinaw and Mackinac Island. On the way home we may launch at Munising for a couple days to check out Pictured Rocks National Seashore. Mike on Miss Jill is nearby killing time waiting for Bill on Mystery Girl as then they will launch at Blind River to spend a month on the North Channel. Then Bill will join me on the Upper Tennessee. We’ll see Mike today at Straits Marina in Mackinaw.
ReisenderCool! We just got to Georgian Bay. James will be in Mackinaw City from the 2nd to 6th (I have another work trip so this is our staging point). Hope to run into you somewhere.
ReisenderWish we would still be around. You might see Bill on Mystery Girl or Mike on Ms Jill.
ReisenderThe Straits marina is very nice. St. Ignace is another nice marina but more to do in Mackinaw. If you’ve never been to Mackinac Island, it’s worth your time to stop. Get over there first thing at 8am and call for a slip. If you are early you have a decent chance to get a slip!
Reisender👍 if not this trip next one. We are getting down to the wire on time.
