Sammie Bocanegra: Julie Morris writes in "The Port Huron to Mackinac race," The Detroit News "The last boat to finish the race is called the 'pickle boat.' The origin of the name comes from English yachting, where the last boat was called the 'fisher.' The boats used to stop to fish for herring and then pickle them, thus 'pickled herring.' The pickling required the boat to take even longer to come into port." !!~!
