Windmills at Mackinaw Marina
Day 74 – Thursday, August 5, 2010

45° 46.714’ N
084° 43.308’ W
Mackinaw City, Michigan (day 3)

First the Good news – John’s boat has been repaired and their free to move on! The bad news is we’re stuck here because of bad weather. Today we experienced a major storm in the harbor. While in the harbor office I was told a major storm was a mile away and moving this way. By the time I walked to the boat the rain had started. Within minutes all hell broke loose. I guess it’s just another day of living on a boat in the northern Great Lakes. Most of the boats that came into the harbor today are here because of the stormy weather. This is a beautiful and safe harbor to hide in.

After the storm blew over we walked into town and had a pleasant dinner then walked around for an hour.

Tomorrow’s looking like we may have a chance to enter Lake Michigan! Stay tuned we I think we have a 50 / 50 chance of getting out of here.
