Our first leg is a drive to Detroit Metro airport for a direct flight to Amsterdam and then on to Luxembourg. The flight is at 8 PM, so we need to burn a few hours at the Delta Sky Lounge. The Saugatuck Brown Alex was tasty and the pretzels were too salty.
We had a decent crop of sunflowers this year. The dry conditions are accelerating their transition to seed.
Linda and I are off on a two week cruise with the club. We left VYC at 11 AM and arrived at Boblo Island, Canada 2 1/2 hours later. The 63 NM run was smooth with great weather (finally summer has arrived).
We met up with 7 other boats who have already been cruising since last week.
Today the Robertson clan did alot of sight seeing. We went on a 1 and 1/2 hour double decker tour bus ride that took us through Barcelona. In the afternoon we went to the market again, followed by the modern art museum and the chocolate museum.
Today the Robertson Clan went to the Barcelona Cathedral, Football (soccer) stadium, and a fruit/meat/fish market. The Cathedral was tall, but beautiful.
Our train this morning is speeding across Spain. So far our maximum train speed has been 310 km/h (193 mph). Our trip is 5 1/2 hours and arrival is expected at 14:25.
