We had friends Jerry and Marge Bekes up for the weekend and attempted to do a little fishing. It all started out well Saturday morning with lines set and approaching the bridge for a couple photos.
Conditions deteriorated rapidly as heavy fog set in. I ceased my photography and concentrated on piloting the boat around the freighters, tugs and ferry boats. It just became too much to deal with so we made our way back to the marina at a breakneck speed of about 6 knots.
I'm not sure I've ever been in fog so think. We were directly under the Mackinac Bridge and could only see the bridge deck directly above us. So we opted for alternate activities and wandered first over to the local arts show.
Then browsed the Corvettes at the Corvette rendezvous.
Lots of Corvettes from this 1957...
to the new 2014.
We grabbed a lite lunch and relaxed down at the park.
Watching the fog in the Straits.
The fog continued to come and go all day and well into the evening. Not only that, but Sunday was a repeat of the same conditions so the boat remained tied to the dock while we all enjoyed a trip to town for pancakes and french toast.
Next week is the Labor Day Bridge Walk. I'm expecting wind, rain, sleet, and anything else that might make a five mile hike miserable.
