Great ride under the Mackinaw Bridge ; the Big Mac, the Ole Lady, Ole Man River (copy right, Clark Griswald – 1997) !
Calm seas & a short 40 mile ride to Beaver Island.
Ride along with us, we have video entering & exiting the bridge (click on links below).

We would have taken more video, But we were interrupted by a Coast Guard vessel who did not like our initial route under the bridge. He did not hail us on the radio, but did turn on his lights. We later over heard on the radio that there were men working on the base of one of the pillars of the bridge. the CG was keeping boats clear of the work area.
Next stop = Beaver Island
