Detroit to Port Huron, MI

Detroit-Port Huron, MI

This was a pleasant and easy river cruise, plus across Lake St Clair, which is shallow and therefore can be rough when the wind picks up. We had an easy, enjoyable passage. Canada is on one side, the US on the other (in so many ways, eh?).

We are learning to use the DNR Michigan website to make marina reservations at state harbors. About every 30 miles Michigan has a master plan to establish “ harbors of Refuge” which be tiny indentations in the shore protected by heavy rock breakwaters. They average $1.50 per foot, which is an excellent value. The website is easy to navigate with reasonable cancellation and change fees. Port Huron/Riverside is the first time we saw no slips available. Lucky us found a giant marina 2 miles upriver for $50/night with free shorepower, free laundry, nice AC captains lounge and heated pool with very attentive staff. The Dockmaster was waiting for us as we entered, and the Manager met us at our slip and gave us a ride back to the office.

Having a great time; the Nebo link log is here:
