Metro Beach Boat Show

David and Reenie arrived around 6 pm on Saturday so we decided to go to the casino for dinner. We like to go there with friends and when the weather is nice we can walk there and back. The casino is right on the riverfront and has one of the best views in Point Edward.

Sunday morning Wendy whipped up a light breakfast. Mike Millar, the marina manager had mentioned yesterday that the 'in the water' boat show was on in Detroit so we made plans to drive the 35 miles down the US side to Metropolitan Beach. The weather in the low 70's and sunny was perfect for walking around the show. You could really see there is economic trouble here as the prices were quite attractive and it didn't seem to be packed with buyers. It's always nice to look at the beautiful big yachts.









After the boat show, we headed back up-river to one of our favorites, the Quay Street Brewery Restaurant in Port Huron for a superb Rueben sandwich and a beer or two.

Back to Canada across the Bluewater Bridge. You can see the condos from the bridge.
