Coming into America


A beautiful, calm morning presented the perfect opportunity to cross the 35 miles into Drummond Island and the USA. The winds kick up in the afternoon so you want to do your traveling early and it paid off—we pulled into Drummond Island Yacht Haven around 2pm and the nice Officer Dodson checked us through Customs then we went to Harbor Island and found a great anchorage.  We left the navy waters of the North Channel behind for the aqua marine of Huron, the chilly winds for warm southerly breezes and plugged back in the Verizon MI-Fi -- no service. Oh well—at least our old vices like our own wireless are just around the corner. Looking forward to messing around Michigan/ Lake Huron (Cheboygan, Rogers City, etc.)  for a week, then re-provision, clean up Sunny Days and meet up with our first visitors.  Thelma and Louise (otherwise known as our sisters—Vivian and Sue) are coming up and going to explore Mackinac Island with us –we can’t wait.

Clearing customs was easy peasy

Harbor Island Anchorage- reminds us of TN River

Passed this Hatteras at the border
