Lake Saint Clair Peeps

We were up in Lake Huron for a few days last week and returned on Saturday. When coming through the North Channel area, I saw what looked like 696 traffic heading down towards the SNI (I assume all heading to Raft Off). It was about 12pm and we decided to head towards our home port but to stop for a swim at Munchies Bay first. I was surprised with how many boats were at anchor at Munchies, considering all the boat traffic I saw heading down the SNI.

You should have turned left into Baltimore Cut and hung out with Great Lakes and I. Hope you had a good trip up in Huron.

Town seems to be doing well, from what I can tell. I did notice a few more places that seem to be new additions and the St Clair Inn looks to be under construction, but not sure how the COVID-19 delays are affecting the revitalization.
Friday night in Lexington was packed, more so than I have seen during their festivals. Maybe cause it was so nice out.
We actually were out in the dinghy, running up and down the coast line on Thursday & Friday, Lake Huron was flat. Here is a pic of my wife and puppy while out on Huron. While out there, I found a pretty large tree branch that was right in the way of the harbor approach. We dragged it towards shore and I notice a lot of prop dings, big to small.
Also, I has the chance to speak with Bruce (member on here)

I agree Brent the weather was fantastic in Lexington and the water was great. It was good to meet up with you and your wife for a nice talk. Take care and enjoy the rest of the summer.
 
Any Lk St Clair peeps planning on heading out to Naked Bay this weekend?
I think we will be heading over there to meet up with a few boats from MacRay Harbor. We are considering trying to get a slip for the night at MacRay.

If you are out there and see us (480DB named Irie), stop by and say "Hi". Maybe I will see Ezsteps (Joe), haven't had a chance to have a beer with him yet this season.

Hey Brent, I'm sure Joe will be mooching all my beer this weekend, at the bay and at the marina. We'll be at bare naked one of the days I'm sure but that decision is not mine... If you can't get a transient well then I'm certain there will be a 50' open near me. Just a thought. We'd love to grab a beer with you
 
Do you know what day you're going Brent? I'm sick of hanging out with Rich anyway and he's almost out of beer. You should try and make it to MacRay this weekend, entertainment everyday. Give me a call if you make it there. I think you have my number. If not let me know here on CSR and I will text you so you have it.

Hey Joe,
Sounds good, waiting to see if the Little Misses wants to stay there either Saturday or Sunday or if she just wants to go back to our home port.
Either way, it looks like we will be heading to Naked Bay (I assume Saturday) so if you see us out there, stop by to say hello and I will have a beer for you (seeing how Rich is running low, LOL).
Have you been over to Metro lately? We were there a few weeks back and the water levels were still an issue. I am hoping they drop a bit, so we can try and get one more trip over there towards the end of September, but the water level and where the pilings line up are a concern.

From what I saw of Trump Jr speech and kid rock it looked like a good time. I didn’t think the owner of Bumpers had the connections to pull Something like that off....good for him. But I am still partial to crews inn though :) ..... damn it ..now I can’t get The taste of coconut shrimp out of my head...
Have you been to bumpers since he renovated. Place is great!

If renovated in the
Last two and a half years... no....when he bought it and renovated it... I helped the owner with the electronics After opening to show the Indy 500 on TV’s and I was a customer. :) .. I just like Tommy and the Crews inn’s food and sense of Family..... don’t tell me bumpers took that from them too.... I can’t leave you guys for a minute

The river was packed, but I'm glad I went. It was pretty cool cruising behind the stage on the boat. The law enforcement did a great job keeping all the boats moving so it wasn't a complete mess. Everyone stayed pretty organized. They wouldn't let anyone turn around in the river unless they were down by Markley's and out almost to Roy's old gas dock. Hats off to them. It was a little tough getting pics after dark because of the spotlights shining, but I did get a few. Once I get them unloaded to my photos I'll post some.
Blue I'm kinda with Rich. I like both Crew's and Bumpers, but if I go down the river and there's slips open at both restaurants I almost always back into Bumpers.
I'll get pictures on soon.
 
I miss those two restaurants .... that is a unique area. A few years ago my mom came to the boat at belle Maer... she is not mobile to say the least with two knee replacements that didn’t go well for her.... but she drove the two hours down from Canada .... I had a couple dock neighbors help me get her on the boat. It was just me and her.... it was her first time on the boat. I took her all around and we stopped at Crews inn for something to eat. We sterned in right out front. There was no way I was getting her off so Tommy came out and said just sit there .... we got you. So the waitress came on the boat and set placemats... utensils condiments ..... set it up like a restaurant table in the cockpit. We had an incredible meal. You just don’t find service like that very often.... I miss that. I have a pic somewhere ...I will post it if I can find it
