Day 374 August 1 71 mi Drummond Yacht Haven Drummond Mich

August 1 is a big day in our lives.....This is our 23rd anniversary and we can't think of a better place to celebrate than on the North Channel on a calm, sunny day....
51 degrees this AM.....but we are headed south


Early walk downtown
 
 
Captain didn't know he had a supply store
 
 
Health Food Store
 
 
Farmer's Market today....looking for corn and maters
 
 
They still had carrots, beets, fresh peas and broccoli
 
 
9AM departure
 
 
 
Look at that water.....hope the North Channel is the same
 
 
We are headed to Drummond Island
 
 
Now that looks like a farm on top of the ridge
 
 
Lighthouse at the end of Gore Bay
 
 
Motor Sailing today on the North Channel
 
 
Our waypoint is Poe Point off Drummond Island...open water until then
 
 
USA at 1:15 EDT at Raynolds Point
 
On June 21 at 11:00 EDT we crossed into Canada at Gananoque.  We have cruised 645 miles across Canada.....and have enjoyed the hospitality of the Canadian people.  Everyone has been friendly and happy to have us in their country.
 
 
No phone service...need to go to Drummond Island to clear US customs 
 
 
What a great day to cross into the USA
 
 
Cottages in the US
 
 
Channel was difficult to follow....lots of turns...buoys out-of-position
 
 
Customs cleared....they boarded the boat
 
 
Two Looper boats across from us
 
 
No town nearby......dinner on the Nanseann
 
 
Captain fixes NY Strip on the grill.....
 
When we were coming across we heard a boater saying Lake Huron had fog and he could only see about 100 feet ahead of him.....we could see this fog rolling through the False Detour Channel....another reason to head to Drummond 
Tomorrow we will head to Mackinaw City ant stay at the Municipal Marina for 3 days.  Hope to get mail, check-in with everyone, and go back to US cell service.....
Weather is looking good for several days....
We are having a great time and the 23 years has been great too.......we are a good team.
