We had a perfect night at a beautiful anchorage outside of Hessel. The anchor and chain came up with few weeds or mud, a welcome relief from the Christmas tree sized blobs we pulled up at Beaver Island.
Winds were light so we motor sailed in the St. Marie’s River at the town of De Tour Village. Make a hard left and go to Lake Superior, straight for Lake Huron, and a soft left for the North Channel. Yes, there were more light houses.
We crossed in to Canada and headed for a small town called Bruce Mines.
Here we cleared customs and got a slip for the night. We hadn’t been on land since Boyne City and we all needed a good walk. Sue found the ice cream shop, and I enjoyed a nice hot shower with unlimited hot water.
We’re planning on re-stocking at the local grocery store and LCBO. We’re pushing off around noon and heading for West Grant Island to anchor for the night.
