Beaver Island
We got up early, determined to make it to Beaver Island, always a favorite stop of ours. Before the sun was up we were out and by 4:00 this morning we were dodging the Indian fishermen who did not bother to show any lights until we were within a 1/2 mile from them. By 7:00 AM, the radar showed a line of thundershowers coming accross the lake from Wisconsin and we decided to wait those out in Mackinac City Marina. While we were there we found out that Nancy's sister Sandy and her husband Larry were just across the straits in St. Ignace, gaming at the casino at 8:00 AM already (real diehards). They came on over and we stopped for coffee, a nice break in our routine. Mackinac City is a real tourist attraction and the marina is not our cup of tea. As soon as the weather cleared up at 11:00 we got going and made it to Beaver Island by 5:00. Good move!
