We left Canada yesterday (Sunday) and made our way through the islands of Potagannissing Bay to the U.S. Customs check-in point on Drummond Island. They let us back in without too much fuss (just a bill for $27.50 to purchase a decal, required since our boat is 30 feet long). Then we went off to anchor at Harbor Island, just two miles away. The anchorage offered by this horseshoe-shaped island is very protected from all sides, with just a narrow opening to the south. It's popular, but not too crowded. We shared it with three sailboats, including this one, and a few powerboats.
This morning we hauled up our anchor and headed west. Winds are light, but since they're out of the west that's okay. We'd rather motor than sail into big waves. On passing DeTour just before noon, we decided to make a quick stop for lunch, email, blogging and grocery shopping. Tonight we plan to anchor in the Les Cheneaux Islands which run along the south shore of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
