Comfortable and Quiet Duncan Bay Boat Club

Let it be known that DBBC in Cheybogan has the most comfortable lodge with lot's of periodical's, comfy selection of chairs and sofa's and not to be left out is the selection of puzzles completed in an ongoing tag team of people .  I also claim it to have the  cleanest, warmest, "closest to home" bathroom/shower rooms, AND nice people to boot!
Wild Goose has been at this port twice in prior summers and it is always the same warm greeting from neighboring boats, person's at the pool lodge and at the grills. Ron decides to get the dinghy wet at this stop so we can explore Duncan Bay tomorrow...after all is unloaded and he's ready to hook up the motor, he finds that he has forgotten the fuel hose. HHMMM, last year it was the oars. Anyway, getting our hands on a new hose was going to eat up the rest of the afternoon and the store closed in 40 minutes....Captain Tom on the next boat over offered Ron a ride to town which is quite a distance and saved the day! Thanks Tom! Sorry to have delayed your Happy Hour!

Steak is on the menu after stocking up on meats in Roger's City...sure was tasty.

On day two we were able to explore the bay by dinghy. The tugboat we saw here on our first visit is fully under water now and marked by a buoy WR1 that has a tether to pick up for mooring and snorkeling the site.

Although the water is not terribly deep, this small wreck reminded me of my first wreck dive in Bermuda many years ago. The Bermuda wreck was at 90' and I was so anxious about it I blew my mask off on the way down. I remember Ron continuing down toward the site and looking around for me...and of course, I was above him and frightened and could not descend fast enough to get his attention. Thank goodness he was experienced enough to look up and then just hang and wait for me. Good thing dive instruction includes many hours of practicing for that kind of event. When we reached the wreck it was still another 30 feet to the seabed and overwhelmed is the only word I can think of to describe that dive. I eventually got more comfortable with wreck diving, but at the moment we went over the tug today, I became overwhelmed again. Weird....

No beach glass again, however, some soggy driftwood for making a pair of sconces comes back to Wild Goose II. Nice beach, great day out and off the boat!
