Day 36 Manitowoc, WI to Ludington, MI photos

Julie and Jeff relax on the shoreline waiting until we were called to load our bikes and selves on to the SS Badger boat to cross Lake Michigan.
More of the riders relaxing near the ferry/car dock waiting for the loading of the boat.
Here's Nancy on a Harley. She decided to ditch her bicycle for this shiney Harely! Just kidding. There was quite a line up of motorcyclists waiting in line to drive then on to the boat.
After a 4+ hour ride on the boat we got our bicycles in to Michigan for the first time. How exciting it is to be crossing into our 7th state!! It was just a 3.3 mile bike ride to our motel from here. The boat ride I found long and rather tiring. Really couldn't rest well on the boat and except for being on the outside upper deck outdoors it was very hot on the boat. I had a queezy stomach most of the ride so I tried to stay put in one place to keep my dizziness under control. I found the last hour being outside along the upper deck was the most comfortable, and I sat on the shady side of the deck. Posted by Picasa
