July 16 – Port Huron (about 15 miles away from St. Clair, MI) was having their Blue Water Festival and gearing up for the annual Sailboat Race taking place in Lake Huron on Saturday. On Friday, Sally and Stan, Ken and I drove into Port Huron to view the sailboats and activities.
Of course, the first thing we did was find a place to eat!!! Here we are on the deck of the Quay Brewing Company overlooking the Black River that runs through Port Huron. First we had to sample some of the brewing company’s signature brew after which, Ken and I shared the Fish ‘n Chips. It was delicious.
As we left the restaurant, there were a number of “Mimes” in the street, posing for charity. I don’t know how they were able to stand there without moving (or sweating) – it was so hot in the sun!!
Everywhere we went, a draw bridge was opening. All traffic stopped; the Trolley we were on detoured as the draw bridge opened for yet another sailboat!!
A view of some of the sailboats. Sally had read that one of the boats had been found rotting in a field. It was restored and entered into the race. We believe the closest boat was that rescued vessel!!
A closer look confirms our hunch!!
It way a fun day in Port Huron!!
