We're BAAAACKKKKK!


So, did 'ja miss us????? We reentered the U.S. yesterday at Drummond Island and spent the night at De Tour Marina, De Tour, Michigan. Tonight we are docked in Mackinac City Marina. We will take the ferry tomorrow morning to Mackinac Island. We hit some very bad weather in the North Channel and weather reporting was not exactly accurate. After much discussion, Ron and I decided to push on through and return to the United States. Two families dropped out of the loop based on the storms that came up out of nowhere and one of the ladies who had been sailing for 6 years, said she'd had enough. Their boat will be up for sale when they return. He hired a captain to complete the journey and bring their boat home again. This might give you some idea as to just how bad it was. We have pictures of some of the hail storms covering the deck which I will share with you shortly. This picture of Gilligan is at Mill Lake last Thursday.
