Drummond Island, Michigan - Welcome back to the US of A!!!


Hallelujah!!!! We crossed back into the US today and it strangely feels really good.  Clearing Customs was a breeze just like checking into Canada.  I really don't know why people made such a big deal about it since there is really nothing to it.

A couple of the things to look forward to are: all food labels will be in English instead of French, we can use US currency, no more "cc machine" brought to the table, no more international transaction fees, all electronic devices will be off roaming, Chick-fil-A and Tex-Mex to name a few.





There is a US Customs office at the Drummond Island marina. "Office" is a bit misleading - its a booth, bench, camera and touch-screen kiosk.



This is a fairly popular place for locals to store their boats during the winter. You can be reasonably close to the North Channel and Georgian Bay while also being very accessible to Lakes Michigan, Huron and Superior.

These are some of the large heated boat hangars used to keep the boats. Some boats were still inside from last winter that never splashed this season.


Very cool double-masted sailboat, the Huron Jewel, took people out daily.





Looking toward the west from the marina.



Well, we tried to satisfy our Tex-Mex cravings too early. Worst Mexican food ever!!! Shouldn't trust the locals on Mexican food until we have returned to Texas!!

Fort Myers Beach and Downtown Fort Myers

Image
Fort Myers Beach proved to be yet another popular destination as you can see from the pics.  You would think that the temperature was in the high 80s with all the people on the beach but on this day it was barely over 70 but that didn't seem to hinder the population.  Downtown Fort Myers, which is walkable from the marina, always seems to have something going on. On Friday they had a Music Walk and as we went from one performance to another we weren't sure if the performers just picked their own spot to set up or if it was organized.  They offered a wide variety that ranged from a 10 year old country singer to 65-75 year olds band with horns.  There was something for everyone!

Making our lists and checking them twice

Image
As Brent and I pondered retirement, we wanted to be active and do something together.  We considered moving to a smaller house in a smaller city but that didn't spur any ideas of how we would fill our time. (For those of you who know me well, you know that I need to be busy most of the time.) We had always enjoyed being on the water and had owned boats for almost 20 years. So we decided that maybe living on a boat would be different yet, enjoyable.  We spent more than a year looking for the perfect live aboard boat with the idea of spending 6-12 months in one marina and then cruising on to another location. As we searched, we revisited an idea Brent had many years back.  He wanted to do the Great Loop.  In a weak moment, I agreed and then the type of boat we needed for The Loop changed drastically.  We needed something that was economical, had a long range, wasn't too large and wasn't too tall. (Lots of bridges to pass under).  In April 2017 we finally ...

Dog River Marina - Mobile, AL

Image
Another gorgeous morning leaving our final anchorage. Off to Dog River Marina and Mobile Bay. Back to civilization after many days of being in very remote areas. This bridge is at the top of Mobile Bay and is our welcome back to salt water. The scenery becomes very industrial and the number of tows and barges are many.  This is a main hub and they are definitely here to work! Stay out of there way...the BIG guys always win! Even what appear to be a few military vessels are here. Looking back at Mobile, AL below. These ships above and below are each over 700 feet long. This is what our chart plotter showed coming into Mobile.  Everyone of those purple pentagons or triangles are tows, tankers or cargo ships...YIKES! They looked like they were on a collision course. Hopefully most are parked and they were! The pic below was a bit odd, the tow was pulling instead of pushing, which is more customary.  ...
