We Finally made it through Lkae Heron. It wasn't our favorite lake to sail. Big winds and big seas The picture is of leaving the lake and enterance to The St. Clair River. Kind of a rush....there was about a 4 kt current running in, so the throttled back to 1500 rpm and still showing 9.3 kts. We're in The River Street Marina tonight. The guys here have been really helpful. They took Vicki to the Market then to the laundry. Today we had our 1st real squall! Like a t-storm, but only much more violent. 45 kts winds and the seas here in this shallow water really stand up. Tomorrow I think we'll just go to Lake St. Clair and spend the night. Then the next day, across the lake and as far south of Detroit as we can comfortably make it. If things go well, we should be in Sandusky, OH on Sunday. Thanks for all the e-mail, we really enjoy hearing from the friends back home and those we've met along the way....TTFN
