Early Morning on Mackinac Island


0507 Monday July 18, 2005

With a 6:07 ET sunrise on tap. Mackinac Island has a spooky feel as the big boats continue to finish. A large electrical storm is creeping in from the West and illuminates the circling 70’s awaiting their dock space. The beauty of this sight is dampened by the fact that they are maneuvering potential lightning rods, with little opportunity to repair damage from a strike before the next race. Also by the fact that it has finally started to rain.

There is a small craft advisory currently in effect for Northern Lake Michigan and Northern Lake Huron and scheduled to continue throughout the day on Monday.
