The Manitou Isle

Better Stay off the Lake

Better Stay of the Lake by Andrew McFarlane

Via Leelanau.com, here’s a photo of the Manitou Isle ferry that I took 20 years ago for . The boat was sold a year or so ago. According to the caption on the photo below that Manitou Island Transit recently shared, the beloved vessel is still sailing on the Great Lakes – off Michigan’s Thumb on Lake Huron! If anyone catches sight of it, be sure to let me know!

Manitou Transit service to North & South Manitou will begin on or before Memorial Day. More on their website.

I found this photo from Mark a couple of months ago when I was looking for a photo of Leland Blue for Leelanau.com. Not what I was looking for, but this May 2021 sunset over the Manitou Passage in Lake Michigan is DEFINITELY a find!

Head over to Mark’s Flickr for his latest & for sure view and purchase his work at Leelanau Landscapes!
