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 Inn to meet new friends.  🍻

Another beautiful sunset  Apparently this is home to the “big hot woody”. The Mitten brewery in Northport Back out   Well not as many pictures now.  We left Charlevoix on Wednesday.  We had really enjoyed that marina!  Once out in the lake, we were moving along side the big yacht, The Scout.  Such a beauty!  It is the one shown in our last post.  Soon waves were a moderate size making for a sporty ride😀.  Safely arrived in Northport and actually had a couple hours sitting at the little beach.  That was so nice! Northport did not have any slips open for the next night, so we left and proceeded to Elk Rapids.  This is another beautiful marina.  We did go past Mission Point light but it was far off.  One surprising point I learned is that this bay has a depth of over 600 feet!  Crazy!
