Another Campbell's Day

Soup. It was another soupy day with reduced visibility for 4 of the 5 hours that we travelled. So far the scenery sucks on this trip. Oh well, there is not much to see anyway. We only went 120 miles so at least half of the trip was at trawler speeds, about 7-8 knots. When we did get out and past Thunder Bay Island, the fog lifted but then we ran into numerous fishing nets. They were scattered about a mile or so off shore for most of the way to Middle Island. So again / still we had to concentrate on the waters ahead of us.

We did make it to Rogers City by 2 PM and were all settled in when the showers hit. Fortunately, I got the satellite connected but still no WiFi for Internet access. You will get a number of reports when we get to Mackinaw City later today. Right now as we were ready to depart more fog came rolling in and we decided to wait it out this time.

Good luck to our friends on Ocean Breeze who are starting their Great Loop on Thursday.
