June 19 - De Tour to St. Ignace, MI



We fueled up, this time paying a lower per gallon cost versus what we paid in Canada. Next it was down the St. Mary's River to Lake Huron. At the intersection is the large light house which we kept to our right. After passing, we headed westward to Mackinaw Island. A few hours later we   


could see the Mackinaw Bridge. Since we completed 2.5 loops, we are flying the platinum AGLCA flag from our bow - not many have this honor or are smart enough to not pay the cost. Since we have reservations at Mackinaw Island on Saturday through Monday, we decided to spend   


the next two nights in St. Ignace. Just before entering the harbor, we ran into a swarm of bugs that covered our boat - see the mast. Right after docking, we attempted to hose them off. This worked for a few minutes and then we were again covered. No matter what we did, they kept on covering our boat. When we walked to a nearby restaurant, we had to keep our mouth closed.
