There is a storm that is hanging over us today. We had rain last night and there is a 70% chance of rain today with T-storms. A couple of positives here: there isn’t any wind (unless a T-storm happens); we are tied to a dock; we could travel 6 miles across the Straits to St. Ignace which would take 6 miles off our next destination. Decision made: St. Ignace.

The ride was calm; there was a bit of fog once we got closer to St. Ignace. And, of course, rain. Kelley and I laughed because the last time we came into St. Ignace we got slammed by a thunderstorm and rain. I think I am destined to be tying fenders and lines in the rain when we come to St. Ignace.

The town looks great. There are some shops that have disappeared but a new market is in town and it is a great one. If you want’ the marina said you can call them and they will deliver your groceries to your boat. You can also go and buy them and then they will deliver them. We walked on down and selected the items we wanted and because there wasn’t much, we carried it on back.

This evening we are having cocktails on Proud Mary, a Fleming 55 that is doing the Loop in the reverse. We are looking forward to hearing about the trip from Chicago down.
