We’ve entered the US. The cruising permit for Escapade is good for a year. I’m anchored here off Drummond Island.
The weather has been exceptionally nice. Calm, clear, sunny and unusually warm. I’m writing this at 8 pm with all my hatches open, and have been living in shorts.
The forecast for more of the same for the next 5 days. My plan is to explore the Upper Peninsula in that time, working my way along the coast to Escanaba then down into Green Bay. It’s great to have a weather window.
Not much to report. I spent last night at Blind River, and the night before in Gore Bay. There are a few straggling loopers, so I’m not entirely alone in my travels.
Filled up with fuel (510 l) and water and pumped out at Blind River. Previous stop was six weeks and 620 NM earlier.
