We left St. Clair Shores (Jefferson Beach Marina) at 7:20 after swiping away at the spiders and gnats who made another mess overnight!!! We had 40 miles today and I had made a 12:30 haircut appointment, so off we went. The lake was pretty flat, the sun was shining and it was 70 degrees. We started on Lake St. Clair, then the St. Clair River and finally on Black River here in Port Huron. We passed by many small cottages and big mansions - lots of summertime and year-round fun here plus several freighters with Michigan on our port (left) side and Canada to our starboard (right).
We arrived at River Street Marina around 11:45, and were helped tie up along the wall by 2 nice young high school men. We settled in and then I was off to walk 3/10 of a mile to the Black River Beauty Bar for a much-needed "new" do from Tori. This place just opened this past Tuesday - 2 gals who worked together at another salon now have their new place - very nice!
I called Mark when I finished and he met me and we walked downtown (3-4 more blocks) for lunch at the Vintage Tavern. Both Tori and the folks at the marina office recommended this place + a few others. It was in an old preserved building with wooden floors, brick walls and tin ceilings. Our drinks, food and dessert were all top-notch. Mark had braised short ribs and I had "grown-up" grilled cheese with bacon and apple jam. We shared tuxedo cake which was heavenly!
Back to Catrina with the windows open and a lovely afternoon (79) - read, took little cat naps and did face time with Luke, Maeve, Philip and Annette.
