I"m getting ready to leave Mackinac Island. There are many passenger ferries that bring people to the island from Mackinaw City and St. Ignace. The rooster tail that you see above is behind a 150' ferry. It is quite a sight to see. They have two speeds. Wide open and stop. Nothing, that I saw in between those two speeds.
The above picture is the Grand Hotel. It is the largest wooden hotel in the world.

We left Mackinac Island, went under the Mackinaw Bridge, which is a major bridge. It separates Lake Huron from Lake Michigan. Once under the bridge we started a slight southern route. I'm ready to go south again. The wind was 10 to 20 mph and on the beam at times. I rocked and rolled more than I wanted to but was committed to going south. Tonight I'm in Charlevoix, Michigan. The above picture is a couple of homes that have built in boat shelters that are a part of the house. The doors role up and the boats are inside the boat houses.

This is another boat house that has individual stalls to keep boats in. This concept is a little different than what I'm use to seeing in the Trent River.

I do not plan to travel tomorrow (Monday) as the wind and waves are not cooperating. Hopefully Tuesday will be better. Charlevoix is on a lake which we may take a trip through Monday.

This is pretty country. It needs to be a little warmer. The water temp is in the high 30's and today the air temp did not get above the low 50's.

Later,

Carl
