Day 22 – into the Straits of Mackinac
We chose to round close to the abandon light house. Instead of the Grey’s reef passage. This cut off at least an hour off our trip.
Jeanne was cool as a cucumber, but I was schvitzing. Or it could be the Shpilkes. Either way I was eyes on the depth gauge for a good 1 1/2 hours. We got through. Now we are in the Straits on our way to St. Ignace.
Looking forward to seeing the bridge.

July 16, 2023Is that a lighthouse in the middle of the water? Is that the abandoned one or the first picture? When is the race? isn’t this weekend? Is that too many questions?

July 16, 2023The first light house is on Greys reef and is an active light house. The second light house, the dark one is the abandoned one. The race this weekend is the Port Huron to Mackinac race. It is from Detroit to Mackinac. Many of the racers then go on to Chicago for the Chicago Yacht Club race to Mackinac the following week.
