After breakfast with Stan and Maija and waving them good bye, we decided to also leave the island for our trip to Petoskey. The weather forecast was better for today compared to the following day. We also had seen all we had on our list. Around noon time we left the harbor and headed westward to the Mackinaw Bridge and then on to Lake Michigan. Just as we passed the bridge, we were attacked by thousands of fish flies. The back deck, the mast, back and side windows were covered by thousands of these black flies. When we arrived at the Petoskey Harbor, the fuel attendant hosed down many of the bugs. Henk spent over three hours cleaning up this horrible mess.
