United States again

Tuesday – today Gaye and Aaron will head back to Madison with the truck. Aaron will be able to get his Grandma and Grandpa fix in for the week and Gaye will be able to put in her three days of work to trade for another two weeks off. Alex and myself will take the boat across the North Channel from Blind River and clear customs at Drummond Island. Our cruise across the North Channel was great with completely calm conditions. We played Kings Corners on the way across and relaxed with Alex’s IPOD playing the music.

We cleared customs at the Drummond Island Yacht Haven without problems. It is funny how with all the 9-11 stuff, that it was much harder to clear through Canadian Customs then it was to clear US Customs.

We then proceed out to Harbor Island to anchor for the evening. A couple on a trawler stopped by to say that they were from Green Bay and had owned their trawler for the last 18 years (Georgian Bay was the name of the trawler). They mentioned that they had seen us out on the water before and admired our boat. They are going on a 6 week cruise through some of the areas on the North Channel that they haven’t been in the past.

That evening, with just me and Alex aboard, we did the “at home” stuff – checking e-mail, doing some IT work, playing Runscape on the Internet, and then finishing the night off watching some good old US tv. Nice day.
