We always check several marine weather forecast before departing and reports were contradictory this morning. Some favorable to our location and one with small-craft warnings. Knowing that we had safe-harbors along the way, we took a chance and left at sunrise hoping to make it the Rogers City. As we approached Presque Island, 14 miles from Rogers City, the winds and waves were on the increase and we decided to spend the night at Presque Isle State Marina.
The west side of Michigan, from Port Huron to Mackinaw City, is often referred to as the “Sunrise Side” were some sunrises are an explosion of pastels, or yellows and gold, others bright red, while some are a combination of all. A combination of all was our experience as we left Harrisville Harbor this morning. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
