Tuesday June 4, 2013 Day 3 39 miles / 127 total

Another picture perfect day, cool, but not a cloud in the sky.  We left the docks in time to make the 8:30 bridge.  We DID have to dodge another freighter on the way out!

Freighter 670 ft, Waterford 40 ft

Then it was on up the river, under the Blue Water Bridge and into Lake Huron at 10:45 am.  At thispoint the current is so strong that you could probably walk faster!

And of course we met another freighter coming down as we emerged. With winds now out of the N/NE, we were into 2-3 foot waves for the first hour or so when winds and waves steadily diminished.  We were tied up in Port Sanilac by 3 pm.  Time for a nice long walk before cocktails on the bridge aboard Day Dreams. Doug and Garry grilled a beautiful marinated chicken breast for dinner aboard Waterford while we caught up on The Voice.  We finished up the dishes while Jan did a load of laundry before retiring for the night.  We want to get an early start in the morning - heading to Port Austin at the "Tip of the Thumb".
