The Grander Scheme: s/v Northern Symphony
Another simple dream...Another crazy notion: To make a sequel to our Grand Scheme by making an extended great loop starting from our home in Nova Scotia. One boat, two so-called adults, one or two children, and one cat.

What a great day! We zipped out of the marina at 0645 this morning and ate breakfast underway after motoring past downtown Detroit (the picture is of the Renaisance Center) and under the Ambassador Bridge that links Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. After a few more hours of motoring down the Detroit River, we entered Lake Erie proper for the first time. The winds we light and we motorsailed for a while until they built up to 8-10 knots which was enough for a couple hours of very enjoyable sailing. Finally, the died away again and we motor-sailed the last couple of hours to Catawba Island, Ohio...Finally! We are out of Michigan and into Ohio: only 50 miles to Cleveland. But, a couple of hours after we arrived, the rain/thunder storms caught up with us and we'll probably have to stay here tomorrow.
