Day 9

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!Weiterlesen
