Sailing under the "Big Mac"

 On Wednesday, August 4 we left Petoskey.  The water looked good in the bay but it was a bit wavy out in the lake.  It was a "when will we get there or the waves even subside a little "day! When we got to the Straits of Mackinac it got better for sailing.  We were able to wing on wing sail under the bridge!  It was fun!  

We arrived in Straits State Harbor and were welcomed by friends on Still Busy Living.  We had a couple drinks and dinner at a brewery with interesting beer names.  The guys had to drink #14, Boats and Hoes.  LOL.  A good time.  Forgot to even get photos.

Calm day on Thursday for our trip to Cheboygan.  We were here early in the day and went for a dinghy ride to Duncan Bay Boat Club and to town to the local brewery.  Staying here to welcome guests on board later today.  Happy Friday everyone!

Another beautiful sunset  Apparently this is home to the “big hot woody”. The Mitten brewery in Northport Back out   Well not as many pictures now.  We left Charlevoix on Wednesday.  We had really enjoyed that marina!  Once out in the lake, we were moving along side the big yacht, The Scout.  Such a beauty!  It is the one shown in our last post.  Soon waves were a moderate size making for a sporty ride😀.  Safely arrived in Northport and actually had a couple hours sitting at the little beach.  That was so nice! Northport did not have any slips open for the next night, so we left and proceeded to Elk Rapids.  This is another beautiful marina.  We did go past Mission Point light but it was far off.  One surprising point I learned is that this bay has a depth of over 600 feet!  Crazy!
