As we were going up the Detroit River we were hailed by the Coast Guard to be boarded. We were boarded in the Chesapeake Bay and they told us we would not need to be boarded again for a year. When we gave the paperwork to the young gentlemen they let it go without boarding, yeah we were just having lunch. Bad timing.
Leaving Gibraltar we had plans to traverse the Detroit River and go to a marina in St. Clair Lake. As we were passing Detroit the Coast Guard announced a storm on St. Clair Lake and advise all small craft to seek safe harbor. We had just enough time to pull into William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor before the downpour started, it is always good to be in a safe port.
