6 miles             St. Ignace to Mackinac Island, MI

After a short ride and flat water we tied up at the Mackinac Island marina. This is a fun port to go to and one of our favorites. No cars are allowed so transportation is by bike or horse drawn carriage. It gets very busy during the day with tourists coming in by ferry, but most of them leave in the early evening and then there are only a handful of people around. We got our bikes down and rode the 8 miles around the island. Later tonight we will do the tourist thing and check out the trinket shops.
