Beautiful Sunday....the 4th of July really kicks in "summertime" up here on Drummond Island. The weather warms up, the tourists arrive and that's when they start having a Sunday mass, so...we are 1 week early. We were too late arriving for the 4:30 Saturday mass yesterday, so sat outside Catrina this morning in such a glorious setting thinking "this has gotta be God's Country" and said extra prayers. After exercising, breakfast and some odd jobs, we pulled up anchor and cruised across to Drummond Island. We rode bikes, I went for a walk and Mark worked on his job list (he loves to putter around his boat)!
Was happy to hear that Anne's "Relay for Life" team (Mixed Nuts) came in 1st place this past weekend. Way to go "Mixed Nuts"!!! The total raised by all the teams was over $540K all benefiting cancer research.
Need to clear something up....I mentioned a few days ago in the bog about my kidney stone experience in Charlevoix. Two friends wrote thinking I was currently going thru that....NO! That was 5 years ago and don't want to wish that pain on ANYONE, ANYTIME!!!
Back to Drummond Island....it is one of the largest islands on Lake Huron. The highway connects with the mainland portion via the Drummond Island Ferry which runs from DeTour Village to the island. It is abundant with wildlife and with all the trees, water and small village setting, makes it very quaint and charming. This is our 5th visit to the island (we were here 3 years ago with Philip and Annette coming by car from East Tawas where we were vacationing on "sail" Catrina.).
Our friends and their grandson from back home stopped in to say "Hi"....so good to see them. They have a home here on the island and tomorrow they're picking us up to see their home and go out for breakfast.

We'll be cruising in the North Channel and Georgian Bay for the next 2 weeks, so if I don't post on the blog every day, it's because we're in remote areas and have no internet connection.
Canada.....here we come!
