Leaving Hancock/Houghton

Lower Entry of Keweenaw Waterway

Today was a five star day! We didn’t have any wind, waves, clouds, or rain. What we had was sunshine and flat water! We left the harbor in Hancock about 9 am and arrived in Marquette 8 hours later! It was one of those special days where everything goes as planned.

Heading to Marquette

Huron Island Lighthouse

We got a slip in Marquette at Cinder Pond Marina - the harbor we stayed at before. We were told that they were completely booked when we called this morning but when I radioed them that I was coming in for fuel and pump-out before leaving for another location; they told us they had space available. We will be here for three nights then move on with the Flints towards Sault Ste. Marie. The Barb and John left Williamsburg this morning and are driving back to Marquette to reconnect with their boat. If their trip goes as planned they should arrive late tomorrow afternoon.
