• Carp River day two

    September 1, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F

    It was some kind of windy today. James and Luna had a down day on the boat while Moki and I had quite the kayak adventure paddling up and back down the river. We are not sure what is meant by “this is the only patch of rapids” because we traversed four sets of rapids before deciding to turn around and head back downstream. All good fun! This afternoon we got a “wellness check” phone call and visit from the St. Ignace police 👮. We don’t know how they got my cell number but the officer on the phone knew my name and asked if I was related to James (the registered boat owner). He said someone called for the wellness check… We said all is well, hung up and then noticed two officers at the fishing pier looking out. Assured them we were ok too. This was a first for us. We assume the locals aren’t used to seeing a boat at anchor in this river. Winds have already died down considerably. Getting down to 46 degrees tonight 🥶. Tomorrow we are headed to Mackinaw City.Read more
