Today as we left Mackinac Island the sun was a big red ball.  The sky was hazy like a early morning fog,  no wind, and smooth seas.

We couldn't ask for a nicer day to travel 127 miles to the big town of Frankfort, Michigan.  We really didn't plan to travel that far, but the weather report said nice today, and not so nice tomorrow.  So we got comfortable in our chairs and took off.  The winds never came up, the seas were very calm, but the fog kept rolling in and out all day.  Sometimes it was very thick and Jim relied on his radar screen, other times it was just a very heavy haze.  Either way the day was perfect for traveling 12 hours.  We went by the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes National Seashore, but at that time the fog was pretty thick.  It looked like it was pretty neat, but couldn't really tell that much about it.  We passed several light houses, the fog was

in and out.  Not a very colorful day all in all.  Our marina slip was

too narrow for the boat, so they put us at fuel docks.  It was fine with me, I didn't want to anchor out.  There is a chance of rain 

tonight.  Tomorrow we are crossing the lake, going into Wisconsin,

the Central time zone, and staying in Sturgeon Bay.  Tomorrow is a

Mackinac Island Bridge

short day too, only 50 miles.  We won't know what to do with all that free time.  I hope the weather holds until we are settled in our next slip.
