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.

Port Washington, WI

Christy and family came over for lunch last Sunday, we had a nice visit before they headed back to Chicago.  After they left we got on the bikes and peddled to town to hit some shops and then the grocery store to stock up a bit.  Found out there are lots of hills in Sturgeon Bay.

                                                                                                                          Waiting for one of those darn'd boaters.

Morning light leaving Manitowoc


Port Washington entrance

Left Sturgeon Bay Monday morning and stopped at Manitowoc for the evening.  It was a nice comfortable SLOW ride but we got great mileage.  Still getting used to trawler speeds.  As we were approaching Sheboygan we saw Salt and Sand ahead of us by about a mile.  They were one of the Loopers who were in Frankfort with us.  It was nice meeting up with Rich and Carol again.

Had planned to leave early Wednesday morning but the winds have  picked up and it looks like we will be a day late in getting to Chicago.   At least all the laundry is done, the refrigerator has been defrosted and there is a car lined up for a grocery run this afternoon.
