Today was a short day, motoring 4 hours into a stiff headwind. The wind partially offset Whisper's progress, but with 2+ knots (nautical miles per hour) we average 7 kts for the ride.
Photos will follow showing the state of America's industrial heartland...... depressing and worrisome are words that come to mind.
On the upside, the waters of the Detroit River are far cleaner than I expected them to be. At the opening into Lake Erie people are swimming and taking full advantage of the recreational possibilities.
We are anchored off the main ship channel in a tiny spot called, appropriately, Hole in the Wall. It is literally a hole in the manmade berms flanking the dredged channel. Whisper is being tossed to and fro by current and wind and boat wakes, but the "good" anchor is well set and we are secure.
Check back in a day or two for the Detroit River Photo Gallery.
