Breakwall at Frankfort, MI

This is the entrance to Frankfort, MI. Lake Michigan is not always this calm.

Pictures: St. Ignace to Frankfort, MI

St. Ignace Harbor at sunset. This is a very nice stop along the Great Loop, grocery, post office, restaurants, etc.






Approaching the Mackinaw Bridge after leaving St. Ignace Harbor.





This bridge is really remarkable!! The Mackinaw Bridge is among the longest suspension bridges built.





This newer Grand Banks 47 passed us as he cruised north. We do not go that fast!

New boat decor!!!!

Sierra's stained glass decor brightens up our saloon..(along with Rosie's bucket!)

Finally!!

We finally found a day to get out of town! Started out just a little lumpy, and progressed to bumpy, but we're here in beautiful downtown Saint Ignace, Michigan. Made a grocery store hit up a too high hill ...... down was much easier. We're hoping to be able to move on tomorrow, but the weather liar isn't too encouraging.

A Quick U-Turn!

The weather liar is at it again.... seas supposed to be one foot or less, for our first foray out into Lake Huron on our way to Mackinac. Turned out to be at least 3 feet, and on the nose. We were taking water over the flybridge. After five miles of that, we got smart, and came back. Of course, the ride back was a following sea, and not too bad. When we got back, a nice man named Ron from the Vessel Solitaire showed us a more protected and scenic route to try. Today we're glad we're back inside the marina!

North Channel Views

Anchorage- dawn behind John's Island, North Channel.










Lighthouse at the entrance to Little Current.




Collins Inlet- beautiful winding passage









Rock wall along the Collins Inlet carved by glaciers in the ice age, and looks like a waterfall today.




Rocks meant to show the way.









There are many rock formations built to show the way-- (see above!) This one looks more like "Howdy, have a seat!"

Back in the US of A

Had a great ride from behind John's Island Anchorage to Drummond, MI and cleared customs. Then went to DeTour Harbor in Michigan. Getting mail and regrouping here. Much more to follow!
