Day Three Journey to North Channel July 3, 2021

 Leamington to Peche Island Anchorage

This was an exciting day for me. We left Lake Erie and headed up the Detroit River. The water way narrows and you can see things on both sides of the boat. Actually you see two different countries! I wish my parents could have joined us they would have loved the view. Sailing under the Ambassador Bridge was a big thrill for me and brings back memories of  some many wonderful visits to the USA.

The Kanters told us about an anchorage at Peche Island across from Windsor Yacht Club. It was a great location and apply placed for a break. Ed and his all man crew joined us for the evening. Terry and Steve braved the waters and swam over for a visit. This is our first visitors on the trip.

The weather co-operated and we had a glass sea and low wind. It was a good practice at our first anchorage. One of the power boats beside us came over in their dinghy to talk and they were former Port Stanley residents. They have been enjoying the Island Provinacial park for years now.
