USA - GOOD TO BE BACK

North Channel. This is our last leg of the Canadian Waters. North Channel is beautiful, deep water and no fear of hitting any rocks. Once we travel through the North Channel, we will enter Lake Huron and the United States. We loved Canada, the people are so nice but it will be good to get back to the US. This is just one of the many beautiful sights of Canada.



This is a waterfall coming out of a big cliff.



North Channel has many places called the "Narrows". And believe me they are narrow passes, as you can see. Before you enter a narrow passage, you call on the VHF radio "security...security, three trawlers entering Narrow passage, etc." We did have on several occasions other boats about to enter the passage when we were about to enter.



Shoreline and mountains of the North Channel.



One of the places where we anchored. It was a quiet little cove and all three boats were able to raft up. Here's the gang at Happy Hour.



'Reflection' of the beauty of Canada. We anchored at John's Island and pulling out the next morning.



We are entering Lake Huron and will clear customs at Drummond Island. Good to be back in the US.



Incredible Sunset.



Mackinac Island. We had lunch right before we shot this picture and all four girls wore pink shirts (wasn't planned). Pictured is My Cin, Patti and her guest Carol - (Fabin and Chuck left to tour the island). The name of the restaurant/bar is the Pink Pony. Need I say more.....even my cheeks were pink.



Main Street in Mackinac Island. Many shops and every other store - FUDGE!



No motor vehicles are allowed on the island. You have the following choices: Walk, Bike or Horse & Carriage. This is a side street (off the main drag) and this is the garbage wagon....picking up garbage by horse & carriage.



This is a Bed & Breakfast (one of many). This is one of the Horse & Carriage Tours passing by.



Everywhere on Mackinac Island, you would see flowers, flowers, flowers. This is one of the many places you can stay on the island.



Here's the gang. Captians and Crew Members: Chuck and Fabin Miller "Whichaway" Billy and Patti Clifford "Illusions" Cindy and Jess "My Cin". Getting ready to enjoy dinner on Mackinac Island.
