The weather called for calm seas so we moved quickly up Lake Huron. We mostly ran at fast cruise speed of 20 mph and only stopped at marinas twice. The black line on the map is the US-Canadian border.
Most of the coast was rural with farms and vacation homes near the water. We did see some large commercial activity that looked like sand mining.
Our first stop was Harrisville Harbor. One of many state run marinas that were created as ports of refuge where no natural harbors exist. We cruised 130 miles that day, which was our longest ever (except for the overnite across Gulf of Mexico).
Upon walking around town, Angie was delighted to find a few examples of "barn quilt blocks".
Our next stop was Cheboygan, MI, where stayed at Walstrom Marine. It is a full service marine center that also offers winter boat storage. Nice folks and very competent.
The town was nice for walking and we had a great meal of their local whitefish. Here is a piece of art in the park by local school kids,
and beautiful flowers on the sidewalk.
