Day 16 – Tuesday, June 8, 2010
N - 45° 22.608’
W - 084° 57.581’
“Mackinaw City”
Today the weather was unseaso
nably cool but perfect for sight seeing. The Flints and us visited the old light house (left) at the base of the Mackinac Bridge then toured Colonial Michilimackinac (below) a recreation of the original fort and trading post founded in 1715. If in the area I would recommend visiting both locations. For lunch we dined locally on fish and chips followed by a piece of Mackinac Island Fudge returning to the boat to select a bottle of wine for later! Unless there’s a major improvement in the weather we will stay another day in safe ha
rbor. The last marine weather report for tomorrow is predicting wave heights to be 2 to 4 feet ---- a good reason to stay put! Wind, waves and lighting will keep us in safe harbor every time we have the option to choose! If there’s a break in the weather tomorrow for 5 to 6 hours we’ll be out of here in a flash!
