Day Five - Cheboygan to St. Ignace - July 11, 2011

We had a short travel day today, just over 18 miles from Cheboygan to St. Ignace. We didn’t start until 12:45pm as there were rain showers working their way through Cheboygan and the Straits of Mackinac in the morning. It was very overcast and quite foggy with very little wind for most of the trip. As we began to pass Mackinac Island, the wind picked up quite a bit, but the fog/haze remained. In fact, we could just barely see the Mackinaw Bridge – not a good day for taking pictures of this fabulous bridge. Hopefully when we depart from St. Ignace heading into Lake Michigan it will be better for photos.
