The little township of Thessalon takes us as far north as we are going. Our latitude is N46 degrees 15' 15" - from now on we head south or west. Right before we pulled anchor this morning, we saw a baby black bear slurping up blueberries off the bushes. He's right above the water. - you can see his little black outline on the rocks. The weather started out cool, but as we hit port, it felt like a perfect Florida fall day. The marina is small, new, private and supplies bikes to go to town. There's only a few other boats here. The view off the front of our bow is beautiful - America, the Beautiful, that is. If you look reeeeally hard, you can see the USA border about 7 miles out. Biked into town - what there is of it. It's another one of those little villages that can't quite attract tourists or retain a population. Bought some wild Canadian blueberry jam - wanted to taste what the bear had eaten. Got some local knowledge back at the marina about Michigan then biked back to the town for a burger and fish reuben. Tomorrow we go through customs at Drummond Island then the plan is to anchor close by.
You should have brought baby bear on board...Jack needs a playmate! :)
