Leg 21 Pelee Island, ON – Erieau, ON

We left Pelee Island around 8am to head to Erieau.

It was a bit of a hazy morning but it cleared pretty quickly

Unfortunately we had no wind today so we motored for most of it. I had gone down below deck to make us some lunch when I suddenly felt the boat heel. Turns out a fishing boat had placed nets across the lake right from shore all the way out. We had to change course and motor along the net until we could find an opening. When we finally did get through an opening we were swarmed with flies.

There were so many of them

Unfortunately the bugs didn’t leave us and we arrived in Erieau around 4pm. We paid for our slip and then spent the night relaxing since we had a very long sail the next day.
