ALGONAC, Mich. - A replica of the Nina, one of the three ships that Christopher Columbus sailed from the Old World to the New in 1492, visits Michigan this week as it continues its 13-year world tour.

Senior Capt. Morgan Sanger is scheduled to dock the 85-foot wooden sailboat from Thursday through Monday at Algonac on the St. Clair River. It opens for the public on Friday.
I've had two 3-day weekends in a row, can I get away with a third?

UPDATE:
