Passing by the Beaver Island ferry as we leave Charlevoix
What a treat to wake up to brilliant blue skies after the past few dreary, damp, foggy days! We left Round Lake and Charlevoix to make the 7:30 bridge. "On a clear day, you can see forever" (as the song goes) and that's how it was all day long! Along the way, we went under the Mackinac Island Bridge (such a masterpiece)...
Mackinac Island Bridge (5 miles long)
After crossing under the bridge we left Lake Michigan and are now on Lake Huron
The Grand Hotel
Passing by Mackinac Island
We traveled 105 miles in fairly calm conditions (last 5 miles were a bit choppy). We are anchored out tonight off Harbor Island (the western most part of the North Channel which is the northern part of Lake Huron.) There are 2 sailboats nearby, but up here in North Country....wow...so peaceful and tranquil with.the beautiful tall pine trees, gentle moving of Catrina and sun still shining brightly-----doesn't get much better than this!
Mark has a new engine for the dinghy (Tigger) and he was anxious to see how it ran....he went for a little jaunt and pleased with his new purchase. He grilled out brats, we turned off the music and just enjoying nature on this spectacular Saturday evening.
Mark, Tigger and new engine out for a little spin
Tomorrow we will head over to Drummond Island (1 mile) and look forward to this charming little village and meeting up with friends, Fred and Carol from back home.

Is the Grand Hotel where the movie, " Somewhere in Time" was filmed"?
