Mackinaw City, MI -- just in time

Sunday - today after a nice breakfast with Grandma and Grandpa we said good bye as they make their way back to Madison.

The weather forecast for the next few days does not look good. So instead of being stuck in St. Ignace, MI for another two days before the winds/waves were to break, we decided to quickly move the boat to Mackinaw City, MI. Mackinaw City is only across the Straits and about 40 minutes for us. The wind had been high the day before, but this morning it was somewhat light. So we made it over to the Marina and tied up in our dock - again the width of the dock space was very small.

We very much enjoyed Mackinaw City -- a tourist trap for sure, but everything is right across from the marina and we played the tourist for the day. Plenty of places to eat and relax. The Boy's enjoyed playing games at the arcade and the Laser show that they have in the evening. Great place to get "stuck" with the winds picking up. During the day it was in the 90's and the winds were gusting to 30kts -- very windy. Part of the fun in being in the Marina is watching the other boats trying to dock with the major winds pushing them around. We sat for many hours just watching -- thankful that we already had docked.

Internet Update: Aircard did not work, but we had free high speed Internet via wi-fi.
