Monday, Day 15. Here we are in St. Ignace, MI where we stayed for 2 nights. After spending 2 nights anchored in Hessel Bay, and attending the boat show there, we left for here because of impending bad weather. We'd rather be at a marina in that event. Also, our generator was not working and we thought we had better facilities for repair here.
To backtrack, the boat show had 130+ Chris Craft wooden boats of all designs, some of which were restored from 1930 and beyond. They were beautiful and apparantly, if you live in these islands, you have to have one. I couldn't upload any of the pictures of the boat show, but believe me, they were pretty !
St. Ignace is a nice town too and I thought the marina was the best we've stayed in so far.Nice restrooms, docks and easy access to town. They even had music on the boardwalk Saturday evening.
Now the generator is fixed, and at 12:30 PM, we'll head for the Mackinac Straits, the Bridge and into Lake Michigan to Beaver Island--about 45 miles. Weather forecast sounds good.
