Big crossing to Drummond Island

Evening 6/29/2021 big freighter Our home Whitney Bay Look way ahead on port side The crossing on 6/27/2021.  Lake Huron is big!!   June 27, 2021 Left Rogers City after meeting new friends and headed to Drummond Island.  Big freighter and then fog!  Di was not happy about fog, so turned around and headed along shore.  This way we could also see the 40 mile point lighthouse, this time from the water side😊.  Then finally headed across Lake Huron.  Clear most of the day.  One freighter in the channel headed Up bound.  Far off in the distance with fog.  Went into Whitney Bay of Drummond Island.  Beautiful and tranquil place!  Stayed at anchor for two nights.  Jeff caught cisco (fish) for dinner on Sunday night.  I made the rice.  LOL.  Explored a little with our dinghy.   Left the harbor this morning and as soon as we hit the big water there was fog!  Scurried across the shipping channel to Detour State Harbor and said "this is great for now"!  Went into to town to the Village In

  June 26, 2021 StressLess is next to Timeless Yesterday there was no rain here!  Today the rain is back.  Anyway, yesterday we biked the really scenic biking trail to 40 Mile Point Lighthouse and it was worth it!  We went up the lighthouse and also saw remains on the beach of a shipwreck.  We then went to a couple shops and got groceries. Boat maintenance and cleaning This enclosure is so worth having when the weather is not favorable! Shipwreck remains 40 Mile Point Lighthouse 

Lighthouses, rain and more

 On 6-22-2021 we left Harrisville and went to Presque Isle where we had poor connection so will catch up now.  We had some rain and it especially wants to rain when we go into the marina and Diana needs to be on deck to throw dock lines😀.  The winds were light on the way to Presque Isle so it was mostly motoring.  Presque Isle is beautiful so we spent two nights there.  We rode our bikes 14 miles around the area on Wednesday.  We also went 130 steps up the new Presque Isle Light House for gorgeous views!  This light house was built in 1870 and is great to visit.  The old Presque Isle Lighthouse was built in 1840.  We also took the dinghy for a wavy ride around the bay to the stone beaches. 6-24-2021 we traveled between Presque Isle and Rogers City.  The winds were variable from 15 to 25 knots.  We were able to point StressLess to the North, set the genoa sail and just go. . . never even having to tack!  A great ride!  Of course when arriving into the marina it started to rain.  We are
