The breeze and the water made it very comfortable even on the decks enjoying the sun. We boarded at the Jefferson Beach Marina in St. Claire Shores. The Ovation yacht is three levels of accommodations for 300 people. The event was perfect with a DJ on the top level with an open bar. The second level was the food, lounge areas, photo booth and open bar. The third level was the live band and more food. It was a beautiful day to enjoy the waterways and views of the boats plus the shorelines of both countries. A trip down the Detroit River is such a pretty sight.

I was looking forward to more 'gouge' on local marinas, places to gas up, DNR harbors, restaurants, etc. There are a lot of forums (lscn, hulltruth)... but, have found it to be (at times!) a bunch of hill billy types talking worthless yap. Anyway, this place... island harbor - definitely good old boy outfit. Not flashy AT all. In fact, I was a little concerned when my contact suggested we go there for launch, haul out, etc. Calvin, the owner, is a quiet guy but this marina has been in his family for a lonng time. He feels no need to market or go into the 21st century of technology (not sure what k think about that) his office is cluttered w a million scraps of paper & a blotter w/ so many messages, I was impressed he kept up so nicely. Good guy and better yet - good pricing. We plan to store our new (to us) boat there this coming winter.

Boats and jet skis cost $10, effective August 2020 kayaks are now $5. Pedestrians or bikers without a boat are free. There is one porta potty in the parking lot. This is considered a US international border so the gate locks at 10 PM and there is a penalty if you are not out in time. Dogs are allowed in the fishing park and boat launch. Poop bags if you're lucky. There is a gate attendant to take your money and enforce rules. You are not Allowed to swim or wade here, nor would you want to because it is filthy. One mile south is the Edsel and Eleanor Ford house, bird island, and the grosse pointe woods park. This is the southernmost public boat launch until Detroit. It's kind of hard to find, drive east on 9 mile until you can't anymore. Drive between fishbones restaurant and the Mobil And keep going. If you feel like you are about to blow a tire from all the potholes, you are on the right track. I do not recommend kayaking in this area if there is northern wind above 5 miles an hour or southern wind above 10 mph. I also recommend getting off the water by 11 AM when the jet skis get out.
