Left Port Austin @ 0745 this morning. In the harbor, on our way out, we hit an underwater object that was, most likely, a rock: shook the boat but no apparent damage was done. We're still floating!! Very light winds out of the S to W. We had 56 nm to make so tried sailing and then motored the rest of the way. Port Similac is a very wide and spacious harbor. Easy to access and the docks are straight forward without any twisting and turning involved. The harbor is wide enough to anchor if necessary, however, like other Michigan State Operated harbors the prices are very reasonable
Tomorrow we sail for Port Huron. I have been told that the St. Clair River has a current from 4 to 6 kts. Wonderful!! it's going our way!! We plan to be through Detroit and into Lake Erie on Saturday afternoon. We'll sail 24/7 in Lake Erie until we reach Port Colburne and lock through the Welland Canal.
