We left The Pool with gray skies and wind coming from the west. We thought we ought to move onto another anchorage, Snug Harbor. 2snug400The hype for this spot is that should there be a gale blowing in the bay, once inside Snug Harbor one wouldn’t know it. I must say it was pleasant once we were anchored. It was chilly out bit we were toasty inside.

See how the bottoms of the trees look like they have been pruned to be the smae height. In our guide book it says that many people think that they are this way because of the snow, but it has to do with the deer. This is the height that they can reach when they are grazing. Interesting?

Rain came and went….we did feel Snug.

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.

Just hangin' out!

Just hangin' out!

Kelley could hardly wait to get to Sassy on Monday. When we arrived the boat was being waxed, zincs were being put on and the dinghy was about to be hoisted onto the T&T.

The sun was out and there was a promise of “summer” coming.

But, the weather faked us out. Most of our stay at Sassy was overcast and we had thunderstorms and, of course, rain. Rain, we are wondering if rain equals summer here.

I feel like all we have done since we arrived is drive, shop, buy, load, stow, meet workmen, call workmen and then repeat from the beginning. But soon, there will be cruising.

Ain't she pretty?

Prime Time‘s engines started right up. The generator also is working correctly. And the lift works. Yippee!

We landed in Detroit and made our way out to Algonac. We are staying at Linda’s Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast. We made a quick visit to the boat and then had dinner at Lega’s. The adventure is about to begin again.
