Go West!

I had a nice break from the boat in southern Ontario.  When I got back in late May I was ready for one. 

Now we’re underway again.  I left Wiarton yesterday bound for Chicago.  As I write this I’m following the south shore of Manitoulin Island, heading for the Straits of Mackinac.  It’s been calm since I left, with good motoring weather forecast for the next couple of days.  Smooth sailing.

Not much else to report.  I saw a smaller version of Escapade in Wiarton, a boat named Saugeen Queen.  I’d be curious to find out more of the boat’s history.

I’ll leave Escapade in Chicago for a couple of weeks while I go to Nova Scotia – I’m racing in Chester Race Week – then back to do some fall cruising on the rivers or Lake Michigan.
