We are back in the good ole USA as of 10:15 this morning. We left Meldrum Bay at 7:50 and cruised 41.2 miles to Drummond Island, Michigan. So good to be back here (14 years) but we were here September 11, 2021 with Flo visiting friends Beth and Bill (not able to get together this trip) but we'll see Fred and Carol (from near Bloomington) who have a lovely home here tomorrow.
Maddie and friends helped us dock and after settling in, we cleared customs, checked out the laundry and the office to settle up (diesel, pump out and 2 nights stay).
Had lunch and then waited for the storms - we keep getting alerts on our phones about severe weather for this area. And then, the heavens opened up at 12:30 - so glad to be here tied up.
Had a real gully washer and some thunder! I took a nap and we had a nice quiet afternoon and then more rain at 3:30. And then....our internet went out??? We have Starlink and the entire island was out - only could take cash at dinner.
Fred and Carol offered us their truck while we're here - how nice of them and much appreciated. They delivered it to us at the marina and then went on to an anniversary party for friends. We went to dinner at Northwood - very good and then got a few groceries at Sune, next door. The cashier told us internet was finally back - yeah....almost 3 hours.
It's so good to be back on DI.....lots of memories!
