We have begun our adventure! We left Mackinaw City Marina around seven this morning, had to stop for fuel and then we were off to Beaver Island. The trip wasn't too bad, 2 − 3 footers, our preference would have been calm seas but it was time to get going.

Passed a couple of light houses along the way.

Very windy in the harbor at Beaver Island, a bit of a challenge docking. Went for a long bike ride on the bike trail and cooled off with a dip in the lake when we got back. The water was 72˚, quite nice.

| Found a spare engine, should you need it. |
Plan to spend another day here and weather permitting will head to Charlevoix on Saturday.
