The Bayview to Mackinac race begins tomorrow morning ...

Merritt Sellers and her father plan to sail together from Port Huron to Mackinac Island, through crashing waves and at least one night, after the starting gun fires Saturday.

That means Merritt, at age 14, will navigate their 36-foot boat alone when Scott Sellers goes down below to briefly nap. It's essential to rest when racing around the clock on a 204 nautical mile journey.
