We left Manistique at 6 am heading for Mackinaw City, about 75 miles. Again the lake was calm and Otto worked well. We had the lake practically all to ourselves....for the first 6 hours, we saw 1 fishing boat and this "salty". We passed this lighthouse on Bue Choix point and, nearing the Straits, the White Shoal lighthouse.














Nearing the Straits we could see the Mackinac Bridge from 14 miles away.



Instead of Mackinaw City, we decided to go in to St. Ignace. I would've liked to stay at Mackinac Island, but their docks were closed to the public because of some sailboat races. We arrived at 3 pm. and will settle for a walk later as it's pretty warm here ! Not sure what tomorrow will be--we'll have to wait and see what the weather brings.
