We made our crossing yesterday. Waited the weather out and left Drummond Island at 10am we were going to get out of there good or bad weather. Trip across was pretty calm till the last 5 miles but we could see Mackinac Island so it made the rough water calm. Mackinac Island is 8 miles around with only horse and buggy or bike transportation. We arrived here at 4:30 after traveling 47.3 miles. Walked around town nice to see something different after 5 days on Drummond, had cocktail and dinner. Tomorrow we will do some more tourist type things and take a buggy tour. Donna and Lin are happy as they both need hair cuts. The Mackinac Fort above us fires a cannon off every once in awhile, well the firs time it about put us into shock At around ten pm they played taps so we figured it was time to hit the rack. Boat ran great with the pounded out props.
One tidbit when I registered he asked my name and when I gave it to him he said I was already in the system I said not possible. There is another Richard Nitz who lives in Michigan and I thought all this time I was ONE OF A KIND.
Till Tomorrow
Lin & Rich
Safe at Mackinac Island
