Discovery Cruise Boat

Went on a 4 hour cruise of the Detroit River today. Very hot with overcast skies. Lake Erie and the river were crazy with boats and other pleasure craft.(more on that with my next post)

Check out all the "downriver" markers like Boblo and Fermi. We were really into the lake when we went out to the light house. The fog horn was going....eerie sound. There must be another fog horn up my way because often at night I hear it....very lonely sound.
