We were back from the North Channel and were ready to be back on the water. We headed out to Riley’s Bay for the afternoon and took a dinghy ride to Wave Point for some lunch and cocktails. Our friends Ben and Nikki were with us on board “Big Dog” – the name of our […]

Going Home – Saturday, July 24, 2010
We got up early and threw lines off at about 7:15am to start making our way home. We had several contingency plans on how to navigate our way based on conditions – basically, all this means, is that we had “bail out” locations in mind that would get us off treacherous waters. Once we passed […]
Macinac Island – July 23, 2010
With weather creating rough seas, we decided to hunker down in St. Ignace for the day. This didn’t mean that we couldn’t take the 20 minute ferry ride over to Macinac Island though! We arrived around lunchtime and immediately found the Sea Biscuit to eat at. It was fabulous food and very good beer! The […]
Back to St. Ignace – July 22, 2010
We left the group around 7:30am to start making our way to Drummond Island (customs check-in for US), and then continuing on to St. Ignace. Scot’s weather report showed that seas would be picking up, so we wanted to get the best water we could be leaving early. Once we rounded the island, the seas were […]
Croker Island – July 20-21, 2010
Well, I guess I was getting tired of taking pictures! Crocker Island was a great time, but I left my camera on board when we did our dinghy rides! Partly because I didn’t want to get it wet, and partly because I knew I was missing some of my faculties and that it was entirely […]
Little Current – July 19, 2010
We pulled up anchorage at Covered Portage Cove and headed for Little Current and the municipal marina. We didn’t need fuel or pump out, but we did need to fill up the fresh water tank – we were down to about a 1/3 of tank. We could have managed for many more days, but you […]
Covered Portage Cove – July 17, 18 – 2010
We traveled back through Collins Inlet, through the Killarney channel, and ended up back at Covered Portage Cove. We really enjoyed this anchorage with Merrill, and so it was not a hard decision to go back with the new group. Plus, we really wanted to hike up the bluff for some more blueberries! Anchoring out […]
Collins Inlet – Beaverstone Island – Friday, July 16, 2010
Merrill decided to break from the group and hit some ports on their own – we planned to meet up with them later on. The gang decided to go down Collins Inlet to another island anchorage. While weather had been just about glorious during our trip so far, the morning we left Killarney to head […]
Killarney, Canada – Thursday, July 15, 2010
We left Covered Portage Cove this morning and headed to the town of Killarney to hook up with our friends from Sturgeon Bay, WI. We weren’t in any need of provisions or pump out, but we used the pitstop to get a load of laundry done – and what better day to do so – […]
