Actually, we leave Sept 20, Sunday am early (we hope), and head to Mandi & Marks in Caladonia Michigan. We will live aboard in their driveway for a week, while we do projects for her, and play with the grandkidos. Then we will take the boat over to Holland Michigan and dip her in Lake Michigan. Planning to sail up the east coast of the lake, and back down for a couple weeks or so. Then back to Mandi's for another visit, before we return somewhere around Oct 20th (or so).
Gary has been modifying several things on the boat getting ready for our next adventure on Lake Michigan. Some of those ideas came from me, but he is so good to make my ideas a reality for our use. I still have a couple of projects going myself, like making tight fitted sheets to fit the V birth, so they can't get so bunched up. Also adding some velcro sewed onto the cabinet cover, since some of the snaps pulled off, and this stays better. Just have a problem with the glue not holding the velcro onto the material when we stuck the velcro on. Where there is a will there is a way. :)
Today we had 4.25" of rain, so I didn't feel like dragging all the stuff out in the rain to get anything done in the boat today. Maybe tomorrow. Did inside "stuff" aiming towards our target date to leave. I did call the kiddos and Mandi, and spent the morning listening to all they had to say about their camping trip this past weekend. Sadie the (3 yr old) is so cute trying to be patient for when we are coming. She starts the call with "Hi, Grandma, are you coming today? Tomorrow? etc" I mailed them a calander page, with the dates of september on it, and told them how to mark off the days as they pass, so they can "see" how many days are left. Cosette says its 12. So I'm going with that. :)
Will try to keep these entries of our trip preps current.
Luv, Gary & BJ
