Back at a dock for a few days

Our trip back to Drummond was much smoother than expected but due to their continued lack of dock space due to dredging we decided to make the short hop over to DeTour Village and stay there for a few days at a nice dock. One unfortunate surprise was that our car battery was dead due to an interior light that was left on while we were away. Fortunately we were able to get a jump start and all was good. Sheri took the car and I took the boat and we met at the Detour Marina an hour later. we decided to grab a quick bite at a new place so we drove to the quaint village of Hessel about 20 miles away and found what we were looking for.
Having Sheri on the mainland side of the ferry will give her an hours head start on Wednesday when the splits for Ohio to attend to a new grandchild. Al's friend Dave arrives Wednesday and they will be off for another week before the next crew change occurs. The planned itinerary will be much the same as we just finished.

As we sit at the dock in De Tour Village Marina we are continuously entertained by the large ore carriers passing to and from the Soo Locks. Last night we saw the freighter Paul R Tregurtha that was shown on Season 2 of the Discovery series "Mighty Ships". It's one of the 1000' lakers that ply these waters between Duluth and Detroit.
