Gore Bay Canada – Saturday July 10, 2010

We couldn’t ask for better weather. No fog, no waves, warm temps and an abundance of sunshine! We left St. Ignace this morning and made our way to Gore Bay. The water was calm enough to cruise at a nice slow speed, but we were anxious to get our engines going, so we put the throttle down and smiled at the success of getting on plane in a few seconds, vs. a few miinutes! Merrill is meeting us in Gore Bay, Canada today. This is our first time in Canadian Waters (see chart below where we cross the red line in the water) – and first time checking into Canada. We pulled into Gore Bay, and Scot went to the marina house to use the pay phone to call Canada Customs and tell them we are here. It was a pretty uneventful check in – mostly just hot! This will be our last night in a port for a while as we plan to anchor out the next several nights.
