OUR PLAN

We are writing this blog for one reason and one reason only. To provide a vehicle to make it easier to remain in touch with our family and friends back home.



Our plan is simple. Depart our home port of Goderich, Ontario in the Summer of 2011. Cruise Georgian Bay and the North Channel of Lake Huron while visiting some of the ports and anchorages we have missed over the years. As well as revisiting some of our favourite haunts hopefully with some of our very good friends with whom we have cruised with many times before. All the while adding up the miles and gaining experience with our new trawler. Our first and only self imposed deadline is to be in the Chicago area around Labour Day. South of Chicago, weather and circumstances will guide us!

AUG.18,2011- GOV.IS. TO MACKINAC CITY MARINA, MI

This leg would only be about 20 miles but we were still up and on the water by 0730. It was a very uneventful trip other than the ominous clouds again. It seems that were reminded daily of the changing of the seasons. The autumn skies are certainly dominating this week. As we pass Mackinac Island on our way to Mackinac City Marina we take a peek into the harbour and sort of wish that we would have planned to stay here instead. Little did I know that in less than 24 hours I would be thanking providence and luck for pushing us to stay at Mackinac City instead?
