Pilot Cove, Drummond Island, Michigan– DeTour Village, Michigan - July 31, 2008

This morning, before we left, we took down our Canadian courtesy flag and raised the yellow quarantine flag. That stays up until we clear US customs in Drummond.

Bob and Darrell retrieved the lines from land and we pulled our anchors. Ours was a huge ball of mud and grass. It took awhile to get it cleaned off. Both boats made it out of the cove with no problem, but it was a concern with the shallowness and narrowness of the channel.

We arrived in Drummond at 11a.m. and found that the Customs officials don’t get here until noon. We had to stay on the boat until they cleared us, so we had lunch while we waited.

After finishing with customs we left to go to DeTour, where we were going to spend the night. On our way to DeTour, Bob and Margaret crossed their wake and completed “The Great Loop”. That is a great accomplishment. They are celebrating tonight by having us over for a steak dinner and champagne!


Notice how Bob cooked the steaks.





And the Champagne Toast!
