Day 91 – Tuesday, September 8, 2009
It was a great day for cruising! We
departed Meldrum Bay at 9 am and followed a straight line across the North Channel then dropped south into Potagannissing Bay to the port of Drummond, on Drummond Island. We traveled 43 miles on water that was like glass. There was haze, but no fog and hardly a ripple to be seen.

We traveled 43 miles on water that was like glass. There was haze, but no fog and hardly a ripple to be seen. We arrived at the government dock (below) and cleared customs with a firm hand shake and a hardy welcome home! 
I’m not sure why but it’s a good feeling to be back in the good old USA! We couldn’t have been treated any better than we were in Canada, but home is home! Speaking of home ---- Barb and I are looking forward to getting back to Lombard and sleeping in our own bed that isn’t rocking!
We decided to spend the night in Drummond and get a few house keeping chores done before departing tomorrow for the north shore of Lake Huron. We were directed by some of our Canadian friends to visit a series of islands that we have passed by, the last two years. Tomorrow we will move south from Drummond into the Straights of Mackinac then west and take a few days to visit Les Cheneaux Islands. From there we hope to visit Mackinac Island for one night then Mackinaw City for an additional night.
