We left Red Rocks, Ontario early in the morning bound for the CPR slips. Our route took us back out Nipigon Strait but this time we had the wind and the current at our backs so it was a quicker trip. We were actually even able to sail for a while. We had read about … Continue reading CPR Slips – St. Ignace Island (July 18th)
Otter Cove (48°37.2’N,88°13.5’W) was just a short 10 miles or so from Loon Harbour and was supposed to be a beautiful spot. Once again, the wind wasn’t cooperating so we motored our way through the islands to Otter Cove. Thank God for the chart plotter and GPS or navigation would have been a real struggle. … Continue reading Otter Cove and Red Rock, Ontario (July 14-17)
Sitting here in Red Rock Ontario at the moment trying to post some blogs but it's not working so well. I'll try it without the pictures and see if it works. If it does, I'll add the pictures later. Sorry....
We left the little marina at Rock Harbour bright and early for the approximately 35 mile open water trip to Loon Harbour in Ontario. Winds were light again and pretty much directly behind us as we set off. There was a pretty large swell aft of the beam which made things just a little uncomfortable. … Continue reading Loon Harbour and a Dinghy Named Flipper (July 11-13)
We made it safely to Isle Royal a week ago and have been moving around the island. We're currently sitting in the Rock Harbor Lodge taking advantage of some free but sketchy Internet. I tried to post some blogs with pictures included but it didn't work so all you get is this crummy text. We'll … Continue reading Alive and Well in Rock Harbor (7-10)
We woke up to a cloudy sky with traces of fog showing over the hills around Windigo.The fog wasn't a good sign as our friend Dave had told us their was often fog on the main lake when it was clear in the harbors. We had about 40 miles to travel from Windigo to Chippewa … Continue reading Holed Up in Chippewa Harbor (July 6th – 8th)
To show what a small world we live in, we met up with an internet friend when we got to Windigo. Bill lives in Michigan's upper peninsula and happened to be on Isle Royal diving wrecks with some friends. We shouted him out on the radio the evening of our arrival and he came by … Continue reading Our Time in Windigo (July 3rd – July 6th)
July 1st came and it was time to say goodbye to Bayfield. We had to be out of our slip to make room for the racers coming for Bayfield's "Race Week" so that gave us the push that we needed to hit the road. We filled the fuel tanks and the jerry cans with diesel, … Continue reading The Dock Lines Have Been Untied (7-1-2016)

This is done to minimize the number of "spam" comments. After the first comment is approved, future comments should be posted immediately. That … Continue reading A Note About Comments to the Blog
Our current sailing adventure has gone through many stages. In the beginning it was just a romantic dream that included white sandy beaches and beautiful blue waters. Then it was on to the planning stage which was a step toward reality as we learned or realized that that there was a lot to be done … Continue reading We’re Really Doing it
