Drummond Island – Government Bay Anchorage- St. Ignace, MI Friday & Saturday August 29-30, 2025 Friday We left the marina at Drummond Island today and cruised about three hours southwest to a quiet anchorage called Government Bay, just south of Cedarville, MI. The water was calm—thankfully!—but the chill in the air is definitely reminding usContinue reading “Days 133-134”

Tuesday August 26-Thursday August 28, 2025 Eagle Island Harbor Anchorage-Blind River Marina-DrummondYacht Basin, Michigan Tuesday – From Anchorage to Blind River Marina We left our anchorage and headed toward Blind River Marina. It was a bit rough for a short stretch, but most of the trip was smooth sailing. The weather has certainly shifted—I wasContinue reading “Days 130-132”

Saturday August 23-Monday August 25, 2025 Saturday We left Killarney and headed to Little Current. We had some small bouts of rain and a small section of 3+ ft waves. Once we arrived in little Current the sun came out! We pumped out, got some diesel and water and walked to a spot called theContinue reading “Days 127-129 Killarney – Little Current-Eagle Island”

Monday-Friday August 17-22, 2025 We left the marina and headed north through the ever-winding channel. At times, the channel barely fit our boat.

Once docked, we jumped into “reset mode”: provisioning, laundry, fuel, pump-out, and fresh water. With the boat ready, we set our sights onContinue reading “Days 117-121”

Tuesday August 5- Tuesday August 12, 2025 Tuesday August 5 We left the wall at the Lakefield Lock this morning and made our way toward an anchorage just before the town of Bobcaygeon. Our first stop was Longs Point Lock, home to the Lockside Trading Company—whose tagline, “It’s not a store, it’s a shopping experience,”Continue reading “Days 108-116”

Thursday-Monday July 30-August 4, 2025 THURSDAY-Trenton to Glen Ross We got an early start today, heading out just before 9 AM for our journey from Trenton to Glen Ross. Along the way, we passed through seven locks—all of them operated manually. It’s fascinating to watch the lockmasters at work, using hand cranks and levers toContinue reading “Days 102-107”
