I hope you guys are having a great time. I bet your not in Kentucky lake yet. Probably didn’t get anywhere today either, was very windy in Ludington. Just be careful, I’ll check in to see where your at
Hi Terry & Barb! Glad you’re following along. Yes, we are still in Grand Haven. The lake has turned really angry on us! We’ll keep you all posted.
Bruce and Maria, It was fun talking with you today. Your trip brings back wonderful memories for Bill & I. Just remember to be safe, don’t let anyone rush you, and most of all enjoy your time together. Carol
Thank you for the well wishes, Carol. We’re glad you’re following along.
Sound like a good idea to ship your mast. We had to take our down on the river outside of New York City and travel with in a cradle for about 3 weeks. But the worst was when we crossed Lake Ontario with sea off the beam. It would rock back and forward, and even though it was tied down, the windward legs of the cradle would lift a couple of feet off the deck, and than come crashing down.
You sound like you are have a wonderful time – just going to be interesting what the river feels like after Lake Michigan. We have done the inter-coastal waterway, but the Mississippi is another whole thing. By the way, you never said what happen to your self-steering?
Let me know if you want some a Bill’s family to visit in Paducah.
Ahoy Maria and Bruce!I just caught up with the blog and love it! I am so excited that you are underway and look forward to reading the next post(s)!
Nathan and I are in NY but will be returning to FL in mid-October. We will have to meet back up in FL this winter.
Best of luck with the rest of your journey South and we hope to see you soon!
Jo and Nathan
