Having ridden on a ferry back and forth to Mackinac Island,
as well as cruised under the bridge, this past weekend, I have been blessed to
feel the lake breeze on my face (and sting my ears). The waters of Lakes Huron
and Michigan sparkled like aqua-blue tinted gems in the May sunshine. Greening
buds were springing to life on the island and both sides of the straits. The
air was scented with a promise of a late spring, but not every day on the water
is so perfect.
Writing Prompt: You’re
in a small motorboat fishing, when fog quickly rolls in. Before you know it, a
ferry is heading for you and they don’t seem to be aware you’re in their path.
You . . .
What will you do
next?

the photo above has been doctored to suit our purposes and I’m sure this is
unlikely to happen in the Straits of Mackinac. Enjoy being creative with the
scenario anyway!
