Today was as dry as yesterday was wet. It was very pleasant weather, the humidity was low and temperature was in the 70's. We fueled up and pumped out this morning and I am a little disappointed in our fuel consumption. We have been traveling at a slower than normal speed but I am only getting about .88 miles to the gallon. I had hoped we would be at least 1 mile per gallon. We have only traveled 155 miles and only one fuel stop so maybe it will get better as we go. We have put 18 hours on the engines. We left a little later today because we did not have far to go and the weather was supposed to get better as the day went on. Maybe we should have left earlier because as soon as we got into Lake Huron the border patrol stopped us and checked our papers. We were also stopped yesterday and checked. Oh well they were nice and they took pictures of my boat so I took pictures of theirs. The day at Lexington was very enjoyable and we didn't do much. We are planning on going to Port Austin tomorrow which is about 70 miles because the weather is supposed to be good with calm seas. For those of you that like to talk about Michigan as if it were a hand we are headed to the thumb.
