Mackinaw City-Fayette SP, MI UP

July 8 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

Locals + NOAA + Windy Blue app +Great Lakes Portal all agreed on seas under 2 feet and light winds from the SE, which indeed proved to be correct. We made 32 MPH hurdling along the UP on Lake Michigan, which can’t be done very often. We are tucked into a remote, well protected cove in a SP marina. The area was an 1860’s pig iron blast furnace company town that was abandoned intact after the trees were all chopped down and better steel making tech was discovered.

We are still amazed at the water clarity and pleasant temps (lows 56 highs 75 with 5) humidity). There are lots of walking trails. The showers are a 0.6 mile walk from the marina, but at least you don’t get all sweaty walking back.

We’re now at 841 miles on the Great Lakes on a trailer boat and still laughing every day and every night. Be safe out there!Read more
