The weather was amazing for a trip across Lake Erie to Put In Bay, Ohio. We got a mooring ball for the night and caught the water taxi to town, where we had drinks and dinner and wandered around, looking at the sites and people. That place is known as a party town and we can certainly see why – LOL! There are bars everywhere! The next day, Monday, we made our way to the Western shore of Lake Erie to a small hamlet called Toledo Beach. We stopped at a marina there for the night and then proceeded the next day up the Detroit River, to Jefferson beach, where we spent the night and worked the next day.  We took advantage of the beautiful weather and crossed Lake Saint Clair and proceeded up the St. Clair River to the beautiful little town of Algonac, Michigan, where we spent a couple of nights. On Friday, we cruised up to Port Huron, just south of the entrance to Lake Huron. That is a super cute town too! This morning, we're fueled up and are currently cruising north on Lake Huron. It is a great travel day! We expect to anchor somewhere on the top of the thumb tonight. Tomorrow, we will be heading up to Saginaw Bay and the popular town of Towas for a few days.
