Fagel Attraction II Spring Cruise

[SailorLiz]

We just returned from a little 10 day shake down cruise. We finally finished converting the old water tank to a holding tank for a head. We also moved our boat to a new "home port" this season. So we decided to make it a "shake down cruise".
We sailed from the Cheboygan River, in Lower Northern MI to Mackinac Island for the Lilac Festival. We were there for four days, had three days of cold, rain and fog. But we kept warm, by attending such activities as wine tasting. From there we sailed to Hessel, MI located in the UP of Mi within the chain of Les Chenaux Islands. It was a great sail across the lake for 10 miles, starboard tack, GPS registering at times speed of 7 & 8 mph, while towing our old aluminum dinghy! Then from there to Government Bay for two nights on the hook. Then on to the home port of Drummond Island.
