We have been in Little Current to have one prop repaired.  We had clipped a rock in the Bad River anchorage (appropriate name?) and came to the lovely town of Little Current to have the prop sent off for repair.  We sent it on Tuesday;  a slight chance of recieving it today and if not Monday.   We are doing a lot of boat stuff such as changing oil and filters, fuel filters, scrubing the boat, etc.
The 4 block downtown is very attractive and loaded  boaters of all types.  Ate out with 12 people last night; cocktails til 10:30 with Art, Raye, and Hans on their boat; had breakfast with 2 more this morning; will hear a violinist tonight in the park.  The water at the docks is extremely clear with visibility down to 20 feet or more; many kids of all ages are enjoying themselves swimming and diving off the docks.  Boat dogs are everywhere!


Internet service comes and goes and the phone service is non existant.Those are the reasons you have not heard from us for a while.

We will probably leave on Monday to go to the Benjamin Islands anchorage; the Blind River Marine Park on Tuesday and to the US at Drummond Island, Michigan on Wednesday.

We entered Canada on the 23rd of June and will leave Canada on the 27th of July to begin our trip down Lake Michigan.
We will have 8 to 10 travel days in Lake Michigan but with windy conditions the trip could take as long as  three or four weeks. month.

Ray and Susan Mitterrer will join at some point on the big lake.
We will post on Monday
