Today we are on schedule to meet our kids in Michigan, and crossed into the United States of America at Drummond Island. It was really a moment of patriotic pride at the sight of the American flag flying over the Drummond Island Yacht Haven marina. I had missed Ole Glory and had a warm satisfaction with being HOME.
There we met the US customs officers in their navy blue shirts and short
s who came out to the boat to check our credentials and log our reentry into the country. Tom had done a wonderful job have having the right documentation to make the encounter a very pleasant one.Tonight we are anchoring out in a small cove near Drummond Island. We are in the lee of Harbor Island which is a US Wildlife refuge and in an anchorage which the guide book said was often
filled with as many as 30 boats. But tonight there are just two of us so the view is mostly of nature. 
There is a beautiful light green band of marsh grass that circles most of the shore skirting the dark green spruce and cedar tree woods. You could hear the whisper of the wind rustling through the grass, and it was very relaxing. We took a swim in the waning warmth of the sun and saw were a few brown ducks cruising in the grass looking for dinner. Our dinner for this evening 
will be our white fish from Killarney and sun brewed tea from the back deck.
