I think your referring to Poe Reef or maybe the shoal on the southeast side of the island...I never run that area anymore as our cabin is on the northside of the island about halfway around. I usually cut over to Round Island Light and cut through there depending on how rough it is...I'd have to say if there where 5ftrs out there I'd have to turn back even in my 30' twin. I for one know how quickly the water can change in the Straits and I don't want to get caught out there in that...I've been in 10-12's coming across to Cheyboygan from Bois Blanc only because we had to come back and at that point the ferry wasn't even running across due to weather.

Launch at the county marina in Cheboygan at the mouth of the river and either go east or west around Bois Blanc island depending which way the wind is blowing. Me and old Navy both have slips reserved on Mackinaw Island for the day/night of sunday July 4th so look us up-Baja 272 named never enough and a 28 foot checkmate,we will be sitting on the dock drinking if weather permits. The county marina in Cheboygan lets you park there as long as you want too,plenty of parking and lots of room for launching boats easily up to 50 plus feet,Smitty
