Yesterday was a successful day for us! The weather was just perfect and the day went so smoothly. We pulled out of the markers of Harbor Club North for the last time at 9:59 and arrived in Port Huron at just about 4:15. To get to the marina we had to go through two draw bridges which open on the hour and the half hour. Bert had us backed into our slip and tied up with shore power on by 5:00.
Our friends Jill and Warren also brought their boat up for the evening and it was a great comfort to see familiar faces on the dock when we arrived. We had a very enjoyable evening not only with them, but with some additional friends that live here Jan, Norm and Bill.
As a side story, many folks gave us wonderful parting gifts on Sunday for good luck and well wishes. Each one of them we will treasure. Jill and Warren gave us this beautiful piece of artwork that they had made for the boat.

Today we are onto Harbor Beach which is 59 miles away. Bert estimates it will take us 8-10 hours today due to the current. We travel at about 10 mph but with the current against us we actually only get about 6 mph in the river until we reach Lake Huron. Today we will pass under the Blue Water Bridge.
