  We started our morning with a beautiful sunrise over Lake Huron.  There was some slight fog, but, the bright sun burned it away quickly.

  As we traveled under the Mackinac Bridge, we left the waters of Lake Huron behind and began our journey on Lake Michigan.  Like Lake Huron, the water is a beautiful topaz color.

  We had small rolling waves on Lake Michigan which gave us a comfortable cruising day.

Hello, Lake Michigan

  After about eight hours of travel, we arrived at Petoskey, MI and docked at the municipal marina.  There was a festival going on in the nearby park, but, we were too tired to check out the event.  We contacted Enterprise Car Rental and were able to get a car for the weekend for a visit to Dan's Aunt and provisioning.  By the time we got the car, it was time for dinner, and then time for bed.
