August 31 Harbor Beach to Lexington Marina 37.2 NM

What a gorgeous day this was. We left at 0920 with a cloudless sky and light winds off the land. There was a 3 foot leftover swell from the previos days winds but it gradually fell as the day progressed. We set full sail but the 7-9 knot wind off the starboard quarter was not enough to give us the speed to make Lexington in a reasonable time so we ran the engine lightly as well. The light boating activity still puzzles me. This entire beautiful day we only saw one powerboat going north and one sailboat apparently crossing the lake from Canada. We docked at Lexington at 1520 and we were the only transient boat here until a large powerboat pulled in around 2000. I put my bike down and pedaled up to the local IGA to pick up what should be the last provisions for the trip. We had a tuna casserole and peas for dinner. Tomorrow we have a short trip to Port Huron where we plan to dock at the Port Huron YC.
