Day 413 – Thessalon, Ontario to Detour Harbor Marina, Detour, MI - August 22, 2012

The weather (and wind) was perfect for our run to Drummond Island this morning.  The wind was on the nose with waves around one foot, but no rocking and rolling.  We docked at the Drummond Island Yacht Haven and the customs agents came immediately to the boat.  After asking about firearms, alcohol and cash and checking our passports and Boreas’ customs decal we were welcomed back into the US and sent on our way.  Karma cleared customs just as quickly and we set off for Detour.

The wind had been increasing all morning and the ride from Drummond Island to Detour was a bit rougher with waves approaching two feet.  Fortunately it’s a short trip.  We made a quick trip to the grocery store and picked up a few things we haven’t had since we were last in the U.S. in early July.  Although it means we are closer to home, we are both happy to be back in Michigan.
