It is a smooth cruise and all goes well. The scenery and water are gorgeous. Another great day to be on the water! As we spot the Killarney’s lighthouse off our bow, we spot this off our stern. The arrival timing is perfect. As the front rolls in, we escape into the protected cove. The…
Sarnia, ON to Tobermory, ON
Using the latest forecast, a weather window appears to open today for a “doable” crossing of Lake Huron. The past few windy days have been fueling the high wave action, keeping all pleasure crafts off the lake. The wind is forecasted to change direction late morning and quell those swells! 🌊 At 9:30 am, we…
Algonac, MI to Sarnia, Ontario
The first thing we notice as we begin our journey is the color of the water…so blue”tiful”!😊 We see some amazing riverfront homes. We cross paths with large freighters. But none measure up to this goliath freighter. The Paul R. Tregurtha, at 1,013.5 ft., is the current “Queen of the Great Lakes”. This is an…
Grosse Point Yacht Club to Algonac, MI
Our water route today will take us across Lake St. Clair, up the St. Clair River and into the North Channel. We will head into the Algonac City Harbor. We plan to stay a few days as the weather forecast does not look promising after today. In just over two hours, we arrive to Algonac…
Middle Bass, OH to Grosse Point Yacht Club, MI
It is our last day on Lake Erie and, once again, we have great weather and smooth water. She has been very kind to us, except perhaps outside of Buffalo, and we are very appreciative! The Great Lakes are home to thousands of freighters. But among all the freighters, there are only 13 “Goliath” freighters…
Kelley’s Island, OH to Middle Bass Island, OH
We make a small detour for a closer look at the US Brig Niagara. We continue on and arrive to Middle Bass Island. We will be staying two nights at the Middle Bass Yacht Club, which is adjacent to the Middle Bass Island State Park Docks. Middle Bass Island is a beautiful, but very secluded,…
Sandusky, OH to Kelley’s Island
The rain finally stops around noon and it appears everyone is now on their boat, heading likely back home, on this soggy Sunday morning. We join in the fray and head to Kelley’s Island! We arrive to Kelley’s Island Seaway Marina. First order of business is to rent a golf cart. The golf cart rental…
Rocky River, OH to Sandusky, OH
We had a nice two days in Sandusky. Cedar Point definitely brought back memories of past times. The new rollercoasters of our time are retired and the skyline of the park is now unrecognizable to us. Time brings change, whether we like it or not. Tomorrow we will change our address again and take the…
Erie, PA to Rocky River, OH
We had a wonderful two days in Rocky River. Many thanks to Dad for your generous sponsorship of Prime 11 at CYC, to Lynn for joining us for dinner, and to Destiny for the wonderful steak dinner and her carpool skills. Next stop will be Sandusky!
North Tonawanda, NY to Erie, PA
It’s important to take the left at the Niagara River and head towards Buffalo and Erie. A wrong turn and 5 miles later you will be making a large splash over Niagara Falls! The Niagara River is 36 miles long. It flows north from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, then to the St. Lawrence Seaway,…
