Trailered C-Traveler up to St. Ignace today. Launched and then headed over to St. Ignace Marina. Quickly got set up there, and then walked across the street to Buoys on the Bay Pub and Grill for supper. After that we walked to Double Decker Ice Cream. I brought our bicycles along this trip to ride around Mackinaw and Mackinac Island. I fabricated an older bike rack to fit on C-Traveler's bow rails.Leia mais

ViajanteWell 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.

ViajanteCool! 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.

ViajanteThe 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!

Viajante👍 if not this trip next one. We are getting down to the wire on time.

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 up Rosanne's bike tire. (It blew out on the way up here yesterday, and while I had a small hand pump to fill it after replacing the tube, it couldn't handle the 80psi pressure in the tire.) We also stopped at the Ojibwa Museum and did a little shopping before returning to the boat to find our friend Mike with Ms. Jill waiting for us. Enjoyed visiting with him and had lunch. Then both C-Traveler and Ms Jill left St. Ignace for a slow cruise along the Mighty Mac bridge, over to Straits Marina in Mackinaw. Relaxed the rest of the day, until walking into town for supper at O'Reillys Irish Pub, and then enjoying some live music and the lazer show in Mackinaw Crossings. (Sadly the lazer show isn't as nice as it use to be...)Leia mais

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 around town checking out a lot of interesting interpretive signs along the Mackinaw City Historical Pathway. Stopped at Mackinaw Crossings mall to do some window shopping and to listen to musician Jim Ewell at the laser show bandshell there. Back to the boat then for some more relaxation and then after supper walked over to the park near by to hear some more live music, Helen DeBaker Vorce and her Rhinestone Band.Leia mais

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 Island State Marina to see if he could grab a slip. Fortunate he did, as he got one right away. Later that morning the waiting list was long. We got over there at noon, and with reservations, our slip was vacant so we got right in. Walked around downtown Mackinac Island some, checking out the fudge, (it's their fudge festival this weekend), meeting the Michigan Sugar Queen and her court, and of course getting some ice cream! We had Mike over for supper on our boat, and called it a day.Leia mais

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 the local Catholic Mass. After lunch, Mike joined us for a bike ride around the island. Total distance is 8 miles on a paved road with some nice scenery. I thought I shot a 20 second video, but looks like I just captured a couple still photos. Some ice cream when we got back, some more fudge tasting, then some reading and resting time on the boat. Mike joined us for supper at a local's hangout (Yankee Rebel Tavern) which was pretty good. Tomorrow Mike will leave us as he heads back to Mackinaw to put Ms. Jill back on it's trailer, and then heads towards the North Channel to join our other friend Bill. Rosanne and I have four more nights reserved here at Mackinac.Leia mais

This morning after getting up, we noticed that the Great Lakes Cruise Ship, Pearl Mist, had arrived at the main dock. We went over to say goodbye to Mike, and then came back to make breakfast. After that we rode our bikes around the inner part of the Island, visiting the Carriage Museum and then swung by the airport. Came back to the boat. Had lunch. Rested a while, and then walked over to check out another ice cream place. Oh, and stopped at a couple fudge shops to sample some fudge. There is a lot of fudge and ice cream here! 🙂 Rest of the day just relaxed on the boat. Up to 78 here today, while we hear it was in the upper 90's at home with a heat advisory. Glad we are here. This evening the Pearl Mist departed. Rosanne asked one of the older ladies we saw earlier today wearing a name tag from the ship and she said they had boarded just across from Toronto and are headed to Milwaukee.Leia mais

Woke up this morning looking at some rain drops on our v-berth hatch, but none of the forecasted storms for today materialized around here. Rosanne attended Mass and then we went for a bike ride around the island. Came back to the boat and went out to Horn's pub to see how the Nachos are here. (Actually, pretty good!) Spent the rest of the day just relaxing on the boat.Leia mais

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 is open to the east, and many reviews talk about not only the day time ferry boats making wakes, but the rolling water with winds out of the east to SE. Weather quite a change from the nice days earlier. Today is misty and chilly. We went to the Butterfly House and Insect Museum this morning, seeing many beautiful butterflies and some interesting insects and other critters. After that, Rosanne went to Mass at the local Catholic Church. Back at the boat for lunch and then walked into town to get some ice cream. Did I mention this place is known for ice cream and fudge? lol! Rosanne is spending some time at the library (on solid ground) while I finish uploading pictures.Leia mais

Day 9
29 de agosto de 2024, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F
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 we rode around the island. The winds did die down and we went to bed with fairly calm water in the marina. However they picked up out of the east again sometime after midnight and made for another rather rocky rest of the night on the boat. Got up this morning and after breakfast I prepped the boat to leave Mackinac Island for the short ride back over to St. Ignace and the truck and trailer, while Rosanne went to buy some Fudge. At St. Ignace we loaded C-Traveler back on her trailer and after a short stop to gas the truck and buy some groceries, headed north to Tahquamenon Falls. They were suggested by our neighbor. We visited both the Lower and Upper Falls. Very scenic, and quite a few were actually swimming and enjoying the water around the falls. I also did a couple Earthcaches (Geocache) while on the trails to the Falls. Onward to Munising where we launched C-Traveler again, and this evening we are in the marina. Sometime in the next few days we plan to cruise Pictured Rocks National Seashore. We have weather forecasted for thunderstorms and winds, so hope to get out between storms and without the wind!Leia mais

Day 10
30 de agosto de 2024, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F
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 Mackinac Island marina! 🙂 After breakfast we decided to go see if the water was calm enough to cruise along the Pictured Rocks National Seashore. Winds were westerly around 10 kts, and it wasn't too bad with seas running 1 to 2 feet. We went approximately 15 miles and turned around at Grand Portal Point. It was a little rougher than we liked, so didn't attempt to go all the way to Grand Marais. We turned just a bit too early and missed seeing Spray Falls, but did get to see the prettiest part of Pictured Rocks. Tomorrow, if the winds die down a bit more and the chop stays under a foot, we'll look at cruising up to Grand Marais and seeing some more of the shoreline there. I probably took a couple hundred photos today, but you'll be happy to see I'm only uploading 9 of them. I guess if you've seen one pictured rock, you've seen them all. lol. We also spent some time going around the east and south side of Grand Island, and into Murray Bay. Some nice cliff faces on Grand Island as well. And while we didn't get the same view as the tourists on the Glass Bottom boats get, we did see the Bermuda shipwreck. There are also some nice sandy beaches along Pictured Rocks National Seashore (where we saw several groups of kayakers), and Grand Island. Back at the marina, Rosanne made us supper, and then we walked over to Falling Rock Cafe for some ice cream. Very good ice cream, and less than half the price that we were paying at Mackinac Island!Leia mais
