Mackinac Island, no more boats - yet.
A very slow night at Mackinac. Early morning staffers coming in whining about being scheduled when there is nobody here. The breakfast spots are opening up without their usual line up of starving racers at the door. It is nearly 7:00 AM race time, and there is not a hint of boat on the horizon under the bridge.
Windquest is floating on a sea of glass, every passing minute increasing their odds of being overall winner. There are dark lines on the water in the straights - but if it is a small puff, or just the current, is hard to tell from shore. The air is still, the leaders of the fleet are estimated at about 50 miles away. If they are truly moving under 5 knots - their long night will turn into an extended morning.
