Windsor - Peche (Fisheries) Island Wednesday Night Races We anchored last evening in behind Peche Island (just off Windsor"s waterfront). On our approach from Lake St. Clair, we could see that the Wednesday night sailboat races were in full swing in the Windsor area. We noted at least 5 different clubs that had races underway. In the light air, the boat's multi-coloured spinnakers made for a very pretty sight. Just as the sun was setting we turned into the channel between Peche Island and Windsor's waterfront. What a surprise it was to find that the Windsor Yacht Club was located there. In the narrow channel there were at least 40 of the racing boats attempting to cross the WYC finish line. As well there was a dinner cruise ship and the Detroit Princess Casino cruise ship. Amazingly we motored on against the crowd as they were sailing through and managed to put our anchor out behind Peche Island for a quiet night.
