North Manitou Island.

Wow, I'm glad you posted this. Ironically, just last weekend some of my friends and I were remembering the days of walking the plank from the boat onto the island. None of us could remember exactly how it looked. Sometimes, the weather would force a pickup on the Southwest side of the island. That usually required walking off the plank into the water, and wading ashore. The insurance company probably wouldn't even approve this today.

Can't say that I ever saw anyone fall in. Seemed like a real possibility though. :)

This really triggered a lot of memories... thanks for the great photo. At the risk of aging myself... when the weather was bad, George used to pick us up in the 60's and 70's, just like this, on the south end of the Island. I remember one year when it was so rough that George wouldn't come in close to shore, so we went to the Boat House, picked up a row boat and took it to the south end (there was an old road to the south end that ran by Fielen's - I think) where we rowed out to the Manitou Isle. Wish I had pictures of that!

Great story oban. We had to hike down to the south end once, but having to take a rowboat out - that's original.
