Today was the perfect cruising day!  The temperature was 79 degrees.  The sun was out and there was very little wind.  The water was dead calm.  It doesn't get better than that.  We fueled up at the marina before we left.  The price was $3.899 a gallon.  That's the best we have seen for awhile.  We got to the Highway 31 bridge across Pine River and missed the opening of the bridge by about 3 minutes.  So, we tied to a wall and waited for 30 minutes until the next opening.  We are currently anchored out in Oyster Bay which is in Lake Charlevoix.  The water is so clear.  We went swimming off the back of the boat and cooled off a bit.  There are so many other boats anchored here as well.   After 8:00, there weren't nearly as many boats anchored here. 

 Last look at Mackinac Bridge

These two pictures are of the boats anchored out near us in Oyster Bay on Lake Charlevoix.

Isn't she a lovely old boat?
