Les Cheneaux Islands, Lake Huron


 Les Cheneaux Islands are comprised of 36 beautiful islands with a channel running east-west and 3 entries, the west, east and middle.  There are many wood boat lovers in this area and we saw many classy restored wood boats. 

Hessel has the largest antique boat show in the world every August. 
Of the 36 islands one, Dollar Island, is named for the purchase price.  This house was built on the island and covers pretty much every bit of land. 
This is a rather good photo from google images.  I lost all my Cheneaux Islands pictures, gotta love technology.  

We spent two nights at anchor in government bay near the northwest end of Government Island and LaSalle Islands with a mud bottom.  

                             
Anchorage off Government Island.  

We met a nice local couple boating near our boat in the bay.  Howie and Cathy own two hotels in St. Ignace.  They suggested we take the west channel back to Lake Huron which turned out to be a scenic and enjoyable route.
