Harbor Island


We are now sitting on anchor in Harbor Island. Harbor Island is approx 3 miles North of Drummond Island. We had a great completely calm crossing of Lake Huron with no wind or waves.

On the way in we stopped at Drummond Island Yacht Haven for fuel and pump-out. So far, we have burned an average of 2.15 gallons per hour. The boat has again ran great without problems. Drummond Island Yacht Haven has gas, diesel, pump-out, a small store, and slips for both seasonal and transient. This is the location of the US Customs for returning to US waters.

Harbor Island is a great fully protected island. There is a small inlet that leads back to the anchorage area -- approx. 10 feet deep. Your protected from all sides. Last time we were here we had great fishing right from the boat and today is no different. Alex/Aaron/Gaye have caught nice sized bass, sunfish, blue gills, and perch right from the boat. We are the only boat anchored in this nice sized lagoon. Attached is a Google Earth picture of Harbor Island.

Internet Update: We had Internet access the whole way from Mackinac Island to Harbor Island with the use of the Wilson Booster and Wilson antenna. Right now we have 3 bars with the antenna on both the Verizon cell phone and the Verizon AirCard. Without the booster/antenna --- no service.
