We completed our Lake Erie crossing by sailing to Middle Bass Island and after being held there with poor weather, sailing to the Detroit River, through Detroit, and into Lake St. Clair. Patrick and I are moving in "delivery" mode, that is, we are not stopping to see the sights or visit historical places. This is not real fun, in fact, it is more like work.
I have decided to have Summer Snow transported from Detroit to Siskiwit Bay via Michigan Boat Cartage. My long range plans have been to be Home about August 15th and that date remains my ideal target. It has been a long time on the boat and I am anxious to be home with Bev, family, and friends. I talked with Bev and Patrick and told them that I am ready to have the boat shipped home rather than sail Lake Huron and Lake Superior. Those are lakes that I have sailed on previous adventures and I have many people to see and things to do at home.
Having made that decision we can enjoy our last few days in Detroit because, after hauling Summer Snow out of the water, we can stay at Norm and Betty's home (Jessica's aunt and uncle) until we hitch a ride with Norm back to Minnesota. Norm has business to take care of in Minneapolis so this will work out great for us.
Once Summer Snow is home in Cornucopia I will go up to winterize and make some minor repairs so it will be ready for the next sailing season on beautiful Lake Superior.
