Today we sailed to the Island of Mackinac, well, we took a boat over to the island. Twice a day at this time of the year (10 & 11am) the Shepler boats travel under the Mackinac Bridge on the way to the island and we were on this trip this morning.
It adds a little more time to the trip but the cost is the same. It’s a nice addition to the trip. On the island we took a carriage ride tour which lasted about 2 hours and was a nice tour.
Starting out we were given a tour of the city area and then we changed carriages and toured the state park area
and finally we made a third change to return back to the city area. The first 2 young men doing the tours were entertaining with their information and jokes. The last young man was rude and mumbled to himself about hating his job and did not handle the horses well. A complaint about this young man’s behavior was made to someone in charge- hopefully, he will get his behavior corrected. We had lunch at “Millie’s on Main” and then walked about the shops on our way back to the dock where we caught a boat taking us back to St. Ignace. The day was overcast and cool but comfortable for touring.
