While we were pulling away from the dock at 0845, the 1000 footer Edwin H. Gott exited the locks and crossed in front of us. We fell in behind her and trailed her for the next 20 miles. It was a cool day of heavy overcast and light N winds but no rain. We followed the Gott down the West Neebish Channel and enjoyed a favorable current of up to one knot as we motored south. After we entered Munuscong Lake, the Gott picked up speed and gradually pulled away from us. We arrived at DeTour at 1430, off-loaded the bikes and rode over to town in order for Bill to buy a cap. He neglected to bring one with him. After our blue cheese meatloaf dinner, a rock group began a concert in the marina’s parking lot not more than 300 yards from the boat. It was very loud and we were happy when the cacophony ended just after 2300. Then we only had to listen to the wind which over the course of the afternoon and evening had started to blow at 20+ knots. The forecast is that it will drop tomorrow. We plan to cross to the south shore of Lake Huron from here and go to Rogers City.
