As things began to emerge from the fog we finally began to get a sense of where we were. We could begin to clearly see the island, as well as the two lighthouses in the area, several sailboats, and both Round and Bois Blanc Island. Thankfully we safely made it into the dock, with sailboat docked all around...

After we got off the boat the first thing we did was pay for our tickets for the Mackinac Island Carriage Tour. Since we had a little bit of time to kill before our tour began, we spent some time wandering up and down the docks, checking out as many of the sailboats as our eyes could take in. Although I'm not really into sailing (the sailing buff in our family is certainly Tara), I have to admit it was a fairly awe inspiring sight...
