But with the fog, there was virtually no wind so we had a smooth ride again !
Rounding the point on Poverty Island, we could see this abandoned light house.
At the entrance to the Manistique Harbor is this lighthouse, built of steel in 1910.
Manistique is largely a fishing town with logging operations nearby. There isn't much here, and even though we're docked in the town marina, there is no TV reception and few radio channels. The harbor master wasn't here when we arrived, but a couple of locals told us which slip was empty and helped us dock. Before the Mackinac bridge was built there was ferry service from here to Frankfort in lower Michigan.
There is a nice boardwalk along the lake which we took to the grocery store. We were told it was about a 1/2 mile---turned out it was 1 1/2 miles but manageable. Noticed the seagull perched on the bow of this old fishing boat on the way.
Tomorrow- Tuesday-we'll leave early again for our trip through the Straits of Mackinac to Mackinaw City on Lake Huron. This is about 75 miles, weather permitting. Should we need to, we'll go into Beaver Island.
