Another windy day, and we were off the hook early to be ahead of the increase that was forecast for later. We scooted across the length of the North Channel with following seas, and headed into port at DeTour, at the extreme east end of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
We knew we were back on the main thoroughfare of the St. Mary’s River, as we watched the freighters make their way past.
We docked at the marina, and decided to stay two nights, with winds predicted for 25 knots and waves for 7 feet in the north end of Lake Huron. The small town is most friendly, with a nice IGA in a 100-year old wooden-floored building, and an outfitter that carries all kinds of nautical charts and supplies.
The nautical theme is evident at this waterway crossroads.
