Left St Clair Marina @ 0730. This was a motoring day as we were in the St Clair River with a 2 kt current. There wasn't any wind. St Clair River is beautiful with an aquamarine green color to it. Quite a few fish jumping round and even more fishermen. Made good time and found Gregory Boat Company in Detroit for an overnight tie-up. Detroit is having the America Golden Cup Hydroplane Boat Races Friday, Saturday and Sunday so a good portion of the immediate Detroit River is closed of during most of the day. Gregory was just North of the area so we made arrangements: bare bones facility. We were all fast @ 1400 hrs. The length of trip was 38 nm. Tomorrow we finish off the Detroit River and into Lake Erie. We sail directly for Port Colburne for the lock through into Lake Ontario. Won't be able to post until we reach land again.
Wx forecast for Lake Erie is favorable for the next couple of days: S'ly 10-15 kts.
