We motored up the Saint Clair river to the Chenal Ecarte and sailed back down the next day when the wind picked up.

We crossed Lake St. Clair today in just 2 1/2 hours! With reefed main and half the jib out, we were still cruising at 8.5 knots. Overcast sky and rain here and there, but no storms.

Looks cute and calm right now, but Rascal jumped in the water thinking he could catch a fish!

Beautiful weather for sailing. Wind was around 10 miles per hour and we sailed on a beam reach between two sailing regattas, watching their colorful spinnakers.

We had a great weekend of sailing on Lake St. Clair! Two days of perfect sunshine, and enough wind to move! There were a few sailing regatta's that we sailed past and had great fun watching. We ended up staying overnight at Belle River marina - no plans; just sailed where the wind took us!
We seem to be having an easier time with maneuvering Bauble this season (so far!) especially when docking. Not sure if it's the new, larger rudder or if it's the captains increase in experience, but we like the change!
