Well, it was no suprise that we awoke to more rain and thunder. I can't remember off the top of my head but I do belive that our rain days surpass our dry. Being as how there was thunder, lightning and rain, we slept in until it all passed. This put us off at a later time than expected. We stopped just 6 miles down the beach to visit some long lost relatives that happened to be vavationing in Harvey just south of Marquette. As we headed toward our lunch spot at South Beach, our second freighter of the day approached. It docked just a half mile down the beach from where we were. Mom and I both were excited that the fog from yesterday had lifted. Crossing freighter channels with near zero visibility would be less than fun.
After lunch we crossed in front of the docked freighter and went out past the south breakwall. We stopped for photos just off of the Marquette Lighthouse and headed past Picnic Rocks Park. The shoreline was pretty much rock from here on out and we made our way out into the next freighter channel and breakwall. No sooner had we made it out halfway in the crossing when of course threatning clouds appeared. We then made a turn and headed straight for the Presque Isle Marina on the south side of Presque Isle Park. The Harbor Master was so nice. He let us stay the night and gave us a ride into town to get some Itallian food as Casa Cardenia. With full bellies we took a taxi back home and tried to sleep with the sound of the ore docks not far off.
