Presque Isle to Mackinaw City, MI

Sun Break, cloudy and cool
Cool, Cool, Cool long pants and jackets. The weather prediction was spot on today, 10 mile NW wind diminishing all day. Waves subsiding, fog before 8 and clearing later. We departed Presque Isle at 6:30 and arrived at 3:30.

The last 14 miles we could see the Mackinaw Bridge rising from the lake, really cool. Some freighters and a little recreational traffic. Nice north woods feel and smell even on the water. The Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island has a great view of the straights and there is lots of activity in Mackinaw City, tourist town. Kim is on her way and we expect her about 7:00 and plan to go to dinner in town.
The Bridge Amazing
Good travel day!! Scott leaves tomorrow and Kim will begin a 4 or 5 day voyage, we hope to be in Wisconsin by the end of her time.

Tonight there was a live group preforming in the shops area and we enjoyed the music as Kim crossed the bridge. We went to dinner and enjoyed a relaxing time. The adjustment to being on the water and the boat and then the readjustment to land life is surprisingly extensive.
