Woke up to fog, not good!!! It did not lift until late in the day, not giving us time to get to Drummond Island before Customs closes. We will see what tomorrow brings.
In the afternoon we walked into town to check things out and get some groceries. The marina staff told us about a restaurant named "17" so we walked back into town and had a great dinner.

Fog again, bummer! Looking at the weather apps, there was a storm coming through but it was all supposed to move out fast and the afternoon would be nice. We finally decided to go for it.
As we were getting closer to Drummond Island the weather started to change. Not good!
Yup! We got it!!!! RAIN and the wave action picked up.
All safe and sound at Drummond Island! As soon as we docked the sun came out and it turned into a beautiful day.
Checked in at U.S. Customs. They are now using the App so everything is done electronically.
Drummond Island has heated winter storage and this boat was beside one of the buildings.

We decided to stay a day at Drummond Island to do laundry, take advantage of using their car for $12.00 and see what is on this island. The information map looked like it had things to do so we headed to the office for the car. We were then told that the $12.00 car will only take us into town, two miles. If we go over the 2 miles it will be $100.00. OK, we will drive to town, park and walk around. The town was a joke but we did have a good lunch.
Late in the afternoon we had some entertainment! The marina staff was going to put a pallet of concrete on the bow of this boat. As they were letting it down the stern came out of the water! Not going to work. We were wondering if the boat was going to flip!
This is how they ended up transporting the pallet of concrete bags.
Tomorrow on to Mackinaw City!
