Great Loop II Date: 8/4/2014
Day
#5 (Monday): 108.4 total miles (73.9 miles)
Port
#2: Keans Marina, Detroit, MI
Monday
morning we were up before sunrise and on our way to Anchors Away Marina to meet
Clay. Clay started working on the
generator around 8:30AM. By 10:30AM he
had the hose changed, the sea grass out of the intake and a new impeller in
place. With fingers crossed, we headed
north across Lake Erie for the Detroit River.
Lake
Erie was kind to us during this crossing.
She was flat and smooth. By the
time we got to Detroit, we were met by rain and thunderstorms. We docked at Keans Detroit Yacht Harbor
before 7PM, had a nice dinner on board and relaxed the evening away.
