Sunday, August 21st, there was the annual "Float Down", thousands of people get in the St. Clair River in rafts, kayaks, etc, no motors allowed, and let the current take them down the river.
There were strong West winds, which blew 1500 of them to Canada. The paper said the Canadians set up a temporary refugee camp to process them all before they sent them back across to the US!
We went to the Moose Lodge to watch. It looked like tons of fun!
Monday, August 22nd, we moved the rest of our things off of the boat, and cruised down the Pine River to Rivers Bend Marina.
They took the boat out of the water, power washed it, filled all the tanks with anti-freeze, and put it in a barn for the winter. We will come back next Spring and take her out of storage.
Heading home tomorrow! It will take us about two days to drive. I think we are finally done with this adventure for the year.

| The Moose Lodge had a live band, and a place for the floaters to get out. |
