Due to challenging weather we elected to bypass scenic Bruce Mines and make our way directly to Drummond Island which is our rentry point to the US. They have real live CBP agents (versus a phone) so clearing customs is a snap provided your papers are in order. On our way here from Gore Bay we stopped for one last North Channel anchorage at Longpoint Cove. This was a new spot for us and it was really beautiful albeit a bit windy with a slight westerly exposure. After two sleepness nights due to the "band" at Gore Bay we spent another restless night on the hook with a light chop slapping the hull all night. We are shielded from the wind and safely tied to a dock tonight so we should be able to get a good night's sleep.
The anchorage at Longpoint Cove provided a great place to dingy and explore so I have attached a few pictures of the area. Our 54 mile trip back to Drummond started out pretty rough but settled down about half way and turned out to be quite pleasant the last few hours. We will probably move on out in the morning for St. Ignace and get ready for the run back down Lake Michigan starting this weekend.
Suhhhhweet! Looks gorgeous - what a great "hotel room" you have here. Fantastic - thanks for sharing.
