Lake Saint Clair Peeps

Not heading into Huron and Canada tomorrow….. change of plans……tried to stay here at Algonac they are booked solid….. tried macray they were full….. tried a couple others same thing….. so I pulled a favor on PIB ….so making the trip there tomorrow morning….
I would've recommended heading north into Lake Huron and spending an evening in Lexington, MI and then if time permitted hitting Cheboygan, MI the next day.

I get that.



No time for play this weekend. Showings, sea trials and a couple of survey reports to finish. We'll be back next Friday(8/12).



I captained a sea trial on a 460 & a 410 yesterday & this morning out of Cleveland... The lake was gorgeous both trips!

Enjoy. Be safe.
 
The biggest boat/yacht I've ever seen at Metrobeach was moored along the seawall yesterday. A 93' Filippetti "Seek The Sun". In the parking lot nearby was an enclosed semi trailer with awning with a few supercars parked near and under the awning along with a big group guys around a nearby shelter. Guessing all were related somehow. Maybe using Metrobeach as a staging area for the Dream Cruise.

There were a number of really fast boats making speed runs along the west side of Harsons Island. Massive rooster tails and big speed.
 
What are they looking for?

Was on marinetraffic and stumbled on a couple dive boats out in Little Muscamoot Bay. One was doing what looks like search patterns back and forth....

Isn’t it raft off today? If so, probably patrolling.
That could certainly explain it!! Didn't realize that might have been today. There was a second dive boat in the area but he wasn't moving around as much.
 
Ran down to the Ambassador Bridge yesterday for no real reason. It was nice and hadn't been that direction with wife and MIL. Not much traffic. Only passed 2 freighters. View attachment 132732 View attachment 132733

That's a nice ride. Our plan right now is to take off Friday and spend 2 nights at Milliken for my buddy's Birthday. Probably hit a few restaurants and the casino....
 
Joe,
Enjoy Milliken, always fun down there.

Thanks Brent, Unfortunately our plans changed. My Buddy's wife ended up testing positive for Covid on Thursday so we just stayed around the marina this weekend and went to Little Moot with Great Lakes (Rich) on Saturday....

Joe,
That is too bad. We spent the previous weekend (August 19th- 21st) at Metro and then headed up to St. Clair for a few days.

Hello, considering moving my 340 to Lake St Clair. Buying a house in Lake Orion so any advise on which marinas to look at?

The 3 near the Clinton River are Belle Maer Harbor, MacRay and Lambrechts. Partial to Belle Maer..... I'm a well owner. The rentals are around the perimeter and the condo wells are the interior wharfs. 100% rented this year and only a couple of condo wells for sale.
