We are back in the U.S. of A. While in Canada we fly the Canadian flag, so attached is a picture of Emery hauling it down.
Yesterday we left Gore Bay for Meldrum Bay, the eastern-most port on giant Manitoulin Island. We pulled into Meldrum in a big wind, and despite reservations, we were going to end up with no power to hook to. So we had lunch and pressed on to DeTour Village, MI. Big waves, first on the port side bow, then the starboard side as we turned south. So the boat got pounded and we got wet. It is amazing how well the boat behaves and holds together with that kind of banging around. The waves really weren’t that big, but with the wind and our speed it was an exciting ride!!!
We are going to Mackinac Island today and stay there for three nights. Horses, bikes, fudge and people……our favorite port. We now notice fewer boats in the marinas, and think school will start next week in Michigan. So we will find it easier to get slip space I am sure. Weather is great and we are happy. Cheers to everyone!!

Ahhhh, wish we could join you Back at The Mack! We were there again on the 3rd when we showed it all to M's brother Joe. The weather was cloudy and dull, alas, but it didn't interfere.
We turn twds home in the morn from up here in the Finger Lakes where we've lingered his week after doing NH/VT, the Adirondacks and the Thousand Islands since leaving Oshkosh and Mackinac II.
Hope to see you soon; safe travels.
We are back home from our cruise. Mary the weather was hot, hot hot.I,Jean,loved it not so sure about everybody else. We had a great time with the families, now we just need to rest up for a day. As you can imagine we were very busy. We only had a couple of melts downs, but their parents are right on top of them, so it was fun. We have some really great memories. Take care - enjoy Mackinaw.
