This is a view from in front of our cottage in Mackinaw City. All the years of looking out at the water has helped to inspire us to
to explore more of our country's waterways.

Rolling Meadows

Mary and I have given the boat a good cleaning and taken inventory of what's on board.  Don helped install a bow cable connection but there are still a few project that will need to be completed before we start the Loop.  We have a magazine rack and mirror ordered for the staterooms as well as two additional speakers for the new stereo to be mounted on the aft deck.  I need to install a relay to control the auto pilot from the upper helm.   The plan is to complete the misc. projects as soon as we return in August.  We also have the Cat service man scheduled to preform the 1,000 hour check on the engine.  After which I will change all the fluids and filters.  Then we hope to spend a few days at the cottage while finishing up on provisioning the boat before casting off on our adventure.
