Talk to Mike Gephart if you get a chance. I think it took him much longer than anticipated to get across the UP.

Any reason you're avoiding Aug. 4-12? Just curious. I'm putting in for the week of July 4 and am trying to determine if it would be better to put an extra week in between the two vacations, or to just have "two weeks" in July!

Are you using Garmin software? I can e-mail you a .gdb file with the route across the north channel, starting at Drummond Island Yacht Haven, stopping at Blind River and again at Neptune Island (to see if John is home) and finishing at Spider Bay Marina in Little Current. If not planning to stop at Neptune, we can save some time and go directly to Little Current. Mileage is about the same though, as Blind River is along the way (avoiding the prevailing winds and looking for best scenery).
