Crossed into Lake Huron today

After five days in Charlevoix we were ready for a new locale. We were also anxious to exercise the engine repairs and make sure all was OK before we really leave civilization for a while or at least that's how I classify Canada. We departed this morning and made the 9AM bridge before entering some light fog for a few hours. We have all the tools (radar, etc.) necessary to deal with fog so I was ready for it.

About 2PM we crossed under the Mackinac Bridge and entered Lake Huron. We made port in St. Ignace which is just north of the bridge. On Monday we actually boarded one of the many ferries that shuttle "fudgies", as the locals call them, over to Mackinac Island for a day of heavy tourist imersion. At 5PM, and after smelling fudge and horse crap for many hours, we wearily headed back to the relati
ve calm of our boat. As always it is always a spectacular view from the Grand Hotel from the water.
