We left Port Huron yesterday morning, went under the Blue Water Bridge and out into Lake Erie. There were Sunday sailboat races going on all over the place on the big lake. The wind was out of the East/North East at 10 to 15, and we SAILED for 16 miles on one tack all the way to Lexington Marina. This is our first day of complete sailing with no engine -- was great! I took a picture, but it was on the wrong setting and turned out overexposed, so no pictures this time.
We left Lexington, MI, this morning and motored to Harbor Beach. We had a reservation at the marina but ran hard aground because the entrance was less than 5' and we draw 5'5". It took about half an hour to get free, and we weren't about to try again to enter the marina, so we left and anchored nearby inside the big breakwater. Dinner aboard was --hearty vegetable soup, salmon patties, and fresh baked rolls. We seem to eat well wherever we are, whether on shore or at anchor!
Tomorrow we head north, and our destination is north of Tawas, and on Wednesday we want to be in Presque Isle so that we can visit John's cousin, Babs. --Thursday in Cheboygen.
Our plan is to be in Mackinac Island over the week-end - what a delightful thought! So far, since being in Michigan, we haven't had any bad weather to slow us down, so we are crossing our fingers for the good weather to continue!
