Day 16 - Mackinac Island, MI



We took the 10am ferry from St. Ignace to Mackinac Island because it included a short trip under the Mackinac Bridge. Our arrival at Mackinac was after the completion of the Chicago-Mackinac sailboat race and there were literally hundreds of sailboats nested as many as 6 deep in the harbor. Quite a treat for us sailing folk - but the downside was wall-to-wall people on the island.


We took the carriage tour and stopped at the butterfly house - a highlite of our day. Shopped, ate whitefish at a dockside cafe, shopped, ate ice cream and shopped some more. Then back to St Ingles to rest up for the wine and beer tasting tonight. What a rough life.
