July 18th - Page 7

These pictures pick up where the previous page left off, with us headed towards Mackinaw City. We were fortunate enough to be able to cruise past two U.S. Coast Guard ice cutters, both with the name of Mackinaw. The old cutter has been retired and turned into a museum that is station right in Mackinaw City. The new cutter was temporarily docked for a few days while on it's way back from the ill fated rescue mission of two sailors who died as their boat got caught up in the previous night's storm. After passing by these two vastly different and very impressive vessels, we made our way out to and under the Mackinac Bridge...
