Once again, we are off north, under sunny skies with 53 degrees.
The current is as strong as ever under the Blue Water Bridge, which connects Port Huron with Sarnia, Ontario. But with our twin 400 Cummins engines, we noticed how much faster we could transit this, than we used to in our sailboat!
The day was predicted to have moderate breezes with 1-2 foot waves. But as soon as we were in Lake Huron, we were in 2-4 foot waves, with an occasional 5 footer! However, as the day progressed, the wind moderated and things calmed down to the more comfortable, predicted conditions.
We anchored for the night at Harbor Beach, MI. In 1874, Congress authorized the construction of this port, the largest man-made freshwater port in the Great Lakes, as a safe harbor for shallow-draft lake freighters.
