F-33 Cruising Lake Huron
Pete Pattullo has just completed a cruise of Lake Huron in his F-33R NELDA RAY, and writes:Ian,
Just got back from cruising for over a week on northern Lake Huron between Michigan and Ontario, Canada
Our route is marked in green and the different places we stayed in red. We had a crew of 7 people including 2 adults, 5 kids and 2 kayaks, with a couple of kids in tents on the nets we were very comfortable.
Here we are in the south Benjamin Island in the North channel, the monohulls had to anchor out in a stiff breeze!
Another cove on Benjamin island, this time with beach...
Here we are in Little Current, Ontario at the town dock.
On the last day we sailed over 100 nautical miles from Canada to Michigan in light winds to 15-20, it took us less then 10 hours! the only problem we had on the trip was breaking 3 round carbon battens, I've given up on them... switching to flat glass....
Thanks again for a great boat!
Pete, Ginny, Sarah and Erin
