Thessalon Canada
Had no thoughts of sailing today. Initially there were too many obstacles to avoid and turns to make around islands. When we did get a bit of wind in open water the wind was straight over the bow which would require us to tack, essentially doubling the amount of time it would take to get to Thessalon. It wasn't that we didn't have the time but it rained the entire day pretty much nonstop. Getting off the water and dry was a priority. There are no pictures of Thessalon yet as it was raining too hard and too foggy to take anything worthwhile as we approached or after we arrived. Maybe I'll get one tomorrow before we leave.
Thessalon is in the North Channel at the top of Lake Huron. We crossed the St. Mary's River which comes from the Sault St. Mary locks and Lake Superior. This is as close as we'll get to Lake Superior.
Thessalon is pretty remote. We ate at a pizza place, Kosmos Pizza, as there wasn't much else. Kosmos has Alexander Keith's Red Ale from Oland Brewery in Nova Scotia and Molson Canadian on draft. Alexander Keith's is an OK red ale. Molson isn't craft beer.
The marina had a big sitting area and a full kitchen (something we haven't seen before) and advertised WIFI, which didn't work. It had a big shower with a rain shower head that looked quite nice.
