August 15

Terry, Deb and I were up early and away by 7:30 on a
beautiful morning down the St. Clair River. This was an interesting trip with lots to see. It was also an interesting lesson in navigation. One has to pay careful attention to charts as well as observe the buoys and surroundings. Since I was enjoying the scenery, it is good that the crew was taking care of the rest. Thanks, Deb.

Once across Lake St Clair, we arrived in Detroit mid-afternoon and had to scout out a few marinas, both to find one with deep enough water for us as well as shallow enough pockets that we could afford. We ended up at a very nice spot, Harbor Hills Marina.

After getting things settled, I called Wayne and Debbie to check on Corinne’s arrival. She was already in Windsor, sipping some of Wayne’s fine wine.

It was pretty exciting to have the full crew together for the rest of the trip.
