Small World Beaver Island style
28 July 2017 | Beaver Island
Sunny, breezy. Very pleasant.
Motored/sailed through the night to Beaver Island. More wind and waves on the nose. Tired of doing that.
Roger and Tari from Paradise Hunter came over in their dinghy to say hi after I anchored. Their boat is pictured in the blog photo. They asked where I was going. When I told them, their faces lit up and they exclaimed, "So are we!" They are going through the Erie Canal to Florida and the Bahamas. They asked where I was unstepping and stepping the mast (taking the mast down and putting it back up again). You have to motor through the Erie Canal with the mast down. They also had the same handle for the dinghy engine that I have and am trying to figure out how to install.
In the evening we all went out to dinner at a very nice restaurant with a wonderful view of the surrounding water and nearby islands.
