Another quiet day. Went for a run. The Customs and Border people told us we could leave without the cruising permit provided we had an address that it could be mailed to and we could pick it up. Fortunately we have a niece studying in Chicago and we will get it sent there. So now we are looking to leave tomorrow, the weather willing. Met another couple of loopers that were waiting out the weather and another couple that live in Florida but store their boat in Michigan. They come up here every year and travel the North Channel, Georgian Bay and Lake Huron. I suspect that the heat in Florida at this time of year drives them north. We had an enjoyable happy hour with them.
Visited the local museum. The history of this island is quite interesting and they had a lot of artifacts from the original time of settlement and I mean a lot of artifacts.Some very old quilts (120 years) that were quite beautiful and well preserved. The lady that greeted us at the front door, was 80 years old and had a lot of history in her head about the island when you talked to her.
I think both of us are happy to be leaving Drummond. While the people are nice, there is not much to do here.
