Errands and Boats / by Dave Hileman

We woke late, nearly seven and ate breakfast at Penny’s Cafe a half block up from our spot at the church. We met Tom Cash there and ate pancakes with very good coffee. Cindy and I then took care of some trailer stuff - like propane fill. If this is interesting to you please seek help immediately. In the rain we drove to a lighthouse at the very eastern end of Lake Superior where the St Marys River begins. Then back to do more uninteresting stuff that you will thank me for not detailing. Late afternoon, sated with coffee and cookies at the same cafe we walked in the rain (note the theme) to the Soo Locks to watch another freighter slowly pass through on the way from Superior to Huron. 

Waiting for the next ship - there is a lot of waiting at the locks.

Update Cadillac - where, what and with whom — for his fans

Ok, so not a zoo but the Soo. Turns out it is a super cool place with really big boats that clearly need my piloting skills cause they go so slow. No, slower than that. Super slow. I have seen moss grow faster. But I can’t abandon my public. Although I am getting a bit concerned about my endorsements. Have not done one in a while. My PA informs me that very soon I will get a BIG one to do. Great.
