Sunday, (9-19-10) Detroit to Kelly's Island

Today we travelled down the Detroit River and across part of Lake Erie to Kelley's Island, OH.  The wind was light on the River, but it was 12- 15 knots and a great day of sailing on Lake Erie.  We managed to keep the boat speed at 6.5 to 7.5 knots, a beam reach almost all the way. 

This is one of the many boats we crossed paths with on the Detroit River.  Notice how much water the bow is pushing!

This is one of the down bound channels on the Detroit River.

This is us on our way to Kelley's Island as it started coming into view.

This was the sunset from the boat in the harbor at Kelley's Island.
