The Northern Lights were visible last night! About 1 am, Gale had gotten up and stepped outside when he called to Maureen to come out and see the lights! Because of the full moon, the show was not very brilliant, but, at least, we did see them while we were in the North Channel.
We were underway at 5:45 am with the destination of the United States at Drummond Island, Michigan, in mind. We rendezvoused with Distant Voyager near Turnbull Island and headed west into a beautiful morning and calm seas. The crossing was lovely – blue skies, comfortable temperatures, turquoise water and flat seas. We spent about 1-1/2 hours at Drummond clearing Customs, checking out the Ships Store, and reviewing charts with John and Lisa. We found a nice anchorage at Harbor Island, about two miles from the Drummond Harbor, and had John and Lisa over to Blue Heron for a nice meal of Northern filets and brown rice. We truly enjoyed getting to know this couple a little better.
