Day Two of the Pure Michigan Bayview Mackinac Race

July 26, 2009

It’s the second day of the Pure Michigan Bayview Mackinac Race, and Pure Michigan’s own George Zimmermann is back with another update.  The racers had a good night – with the exception a brief squall that came through, the weather was fairly calm. 

This race comes with a lot of history – it started in 1925 with only 12 boats.  This year, there are over 200 racing their way north on Lake Huron to Mackinac Island.

Check out George’s latest update, from 6:00 this morning:
