Meldrum Bay to Detour, MI

 Back in the US of A.  We crossed the border from Canada to the US around noon today, stopping at Drummond Harbor Yacht Club to pass through customs.  Simple enough – but the patrolman was being extra protective of our borders and so he confiscated 2 onions, 1 potato, an orange and a lemon from us.  Good thing we were just about out of fresh fruit and veggies.  I guess we must have looked like highly  suspicious agri-terrorists.

So upon stopping at Detour Marina, we made a quick trip to the grocery store.  This is a nice marina, one of the Michigan State Refuge harbors.  It is a short walk to a nice little restaurant/bar and the grocery store right next door.

We are appreciating things like fast internet service, full cell phone service and some American specialties like baked beans for $1.39 and Milky Way candy bars.  This evening we will go out for dinner with our companion boaters from Attitude Changer.

Great to be back in the States!!!!

    Welcome back to our country! Although trying to bring contraband in could have put you right in potato prison! Glad you had smooth sailing the last couple days and can anticipate more of the same, right on into harbor across the street from your house :-) We had 3 little great grandkids (ages 3,4 & 6) out feeding the catfish and kayaking this evening. Fun to have children around. Then over to Jim & Deb's to break in their new patio and pergola with a few beers and brats. Now it's time for bed. Night!
