83°48.706’ W

45°25.380’ N

Rogers City Marina (Lake Huron)

Rogers City, Michigan

  



Leaving Harrisville



Sturgeon Point Lighthouse



Our luck continues to hold with good weather. The sea was fairly quiet with little to no waves for most of the cruise. We started early and covered 72 miles without incident.



Middle Island Lighthouse



Presque Isle Lighthouse



The east coast of Michigan is boring at best and the ports of call are safe havens usually located near a small bar serving bar type food! This city had an Oriental restaurant that we could sit down and enjoy the cuisine which we did.

Tomorrow we’re hoping the weather will hold and plan to make port in Mackinaw City!
