Drummond Island to Mackinac Island

Thursday 8/24 we left Drummond Island headed for Government Bay anchorage in the Les Cheneaux Islands.  Wasn't too far out onto Lake Huron when we got into some really thick fog.  Good thing we have good electronics!  






We anchored in Government Bay.  There was a beach that Roxie loved.  


The little town of Cedarville was just a short dinghy ride away and we enjoyed dinner at Cattails Cove.  Crazy....I could get Bud Light in Canada, but not at Cattails!  Blue Lite it was!  Cedarville also had a  grocery store where we were able to provision for our trip to Mackinac Island.  



Saturday we got up early and started our way to Mackinac Island.  The lake was calm and the skies clear.  It was a great ride.  

Entering into the bay at Mackinaw.


We stayed 2 nights docked at Mackinaw Island Municipal Marina.  It was so pretty and the marina was very nice except for the wake from the ferries....it wasn't terrible, but it was pretty constant.  The view couldn't be beat and the water.....it was the prettiest water we have seen so far on the trip.  

We enjoyed the many restaurants, shopping, forts and the view from all over the island!  










 

Woke up Sunday to the sound of something really big thrusting it's way into the dock.  Turned out to be a cruise ship, docked right behind us!  




Hike up to the stone arch (207 steps). 








Bike ride around the island.












Visited the forts.





View from Fort Mackinac.



Next will be Lake Michigan!
