Towards the end of the trip home the wind speed slowed down.........but still a great quick crossing

The wind started out stronger (22 knots,
but we didn't find that out until later)
and the heel at a degree where we were sliding
off the cockpit seats (20-25 degrees)....
Jacob just ended up sleeping on the cockpit floor.

Had a great time with family on the river

a lot of time to relax and enjoy the scenery

The water is so blue and deep here in the Chenal Ecarte that you want to jump in!
We motored until we reached the Walpole Island bridge, which only opens on the hour. It was about 1:45 so we didn't have long to wait. We circled a bit, and then when the bridge swung open, we quickly motored through with a wave to the bridge attendant in the tower.
A slow cruise up the river allows much time for relaxing. The kids made good use of the time.

We had a short, enjoyable trip just a short way up the St. Clair river to Chenal Ecarte.

was just enough water for us in the marina, a little jump to get UP to the dock
|
Very nice marina with great restaurant (Burgers) and washrooms were nice and pool refreshing
