We're spending the week-end in Port Huron reprovisioning, doing laundry and visiting friends. We got a slip at the Port Horon yacht club, and we had an excellent dinner at the nearby Quay St. Pub. College friends from way back, Doug & Mary Kay Baribeau live in a lovely house on Lake Huron just north of Port Huron, and we got together for drinks at the yacht club Saturday. They invited us for dinner at their house Sunday night, and we had a fabulous dinner of beef tenderloin steaks on the grill, fresh corn on the cob, salad & potatoes.
Tomorrow we go down the St. Clair River, through Lake St. Clair and down the Detroit River to Detroit, where we have reservations at the Detroit Yacht Club.
After touring northern Lake Michigan, we go to the North Channel of Lake Huron, and through the rest of Lake Huron,Lake St. Clair, the Detroit River to Lake Erie. Around Aug. 21 we will pick up our crew mates Joe and Kathy Burke. The route home will take us through the Welland Canal, Lake Ontario, Oswego and Erie Canals,the Hudson River to NYC, down the Atlantic Coast of NJ to Cape May, up the Delaware Bay, through the C&D Canal, then home (Kent Island) around mid-September.
