Day 67 Thursday 12th of Aug. Departing Duncan Bay

Yet another foggy morning. I am now remembering past trips this time of year and I remember fog, however not so many days in a row. Fogs rather neat to watch if you have the time.

Duncan Bay should be on everyone's list of stops. Not only do they have very nice owners and staff, but the facilities are outstanding. I would rate them #1 of the trip. Best washrooms and showers, laundry room, and decks all around the building so that you can sit outside with a view while doing laundry, or just having a morning coffee. The nicest pool (and with a view) of the grounds and harbor. The grounds immaculate and the clubhouse spacious, inviting and comfortable. In fact, the shower rooms are like being at home (probably cleaner), which is a hard thing to come by at marina's where you are always afraid to touch the walls or shower curtains and never go without sandals while bathing.
 If you are a diver or you snorkel, a 2 minute dinghy ride will take you to a couple of old wrecks in the clear calm water and the beach is wide with beautiful sand bottom that extends out a few hundred yards to a swim platform. And "no", I did not get paid to say all of these nice things!

We leave our deep water dock and the seaweed reminds me of the big kelp forests  off the California Coast, in The Pacific that I've seen in dive magazines. Of course this is so much smaller, but it reminded me that I did not ever want to dive in it, nor did I want to swim in it   (big carp hiding at their bases here ). What an ugly fish!

As we exit the marina channel, we get a better look at a tug boat that sank here a couple weeks ago. I suspect it will be salvaged. What a cool snorkel that might have been.

Wild Goose is heading south on Lake Huron and I try to photograph the water color. Although I did get a couple fun shots, the slate grey-blue water of this deep lake does not show well.
Rogers City is our destination, and as we approach I make lunch. Yes, the same lunch we have had 60 of our 67 days. Turkey w/ LTM. It's great now that the tomatoes are local. Yummm.
