We found the passage through the Gray’s Reef area into the Mackinac Straits to be one of the most interesting stretches of Lake Michigan. For a period of time, you can see four lighthouses, the Beaver Island group to the west, shoals and islands to the east, and the tall spires of the Mackinaw Bridge in front of you. And, there was a lot of activity going on, too. A freighter was passing through the area, we started to see the ferries that go between Mackinac Island (”the Island”, as it is called up here) and Mackinaw City and St. Ignace.
