We left Sassy Marina around noon. There was a break in the weather and we wanted to get going.

Guest Dock at Port Huron

It was a pleasant trip, about 27 miles up the St. Clair River to Port Huron. There weren’t any ships on the river and very few boats. It took 3 hours – we tied up in the same spot we were when we visited last September.

We really like this yacht club. It is run by the members – no employees. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. If you want a drink, a member goes behind the bar and makes it for you. And the prices are so cheap!!!!! It is an active racing club. The members that race a lot are given wells near the entrance to the St. Clair. Others are in another spot farther up the river.

Father’s Day

Going for a walk through Port Huron

We walked through part of the town of Port Huron. There are many old homes. Many are in beautiful condition, but there are a few that are falling apart.

Love the paint choices

As you walk down Military Street there are speakers that have a radio station playing. Some of the music was pretty good.

A Log Cabin at the Museum

We went to the Port Huron Main Museum. There really isn’t much there, but there was an exhibit about ships that have encountered difficulties on the Great Lakes (read that to mean: sank). Ships, I say, not pleasure craft. There was also a log cabin on the grounds; it will be open on the 27th, should you be in Port Huron.
