Mary & Emery's Blog

This will be the fourth consecutive summer that we have our boat, The Emerys, on Lake Michigan. Our blog contains pictures and text about the happenings that we experience on the Lake and in the numerous ports that we visit. Much of this summer will center on Sturgeon Bay, WI and Frankfort, MI. Enjoy!

Today We Went to Menominee, MI

Ore Boat in Dock








Today we took the boat out for a shakedown cruise......after we replaced the engine batteries!


Emery decided the engines didn't sound good as they started up. So, seeing this marina also has a big repair facility, we got a mechanic down to look. Seeing the batteries are original to the boat (2005)time to replace them. Done in an hour...terrific.


So then we motored out to Green Bay. Attached are pictures from the Sturgeon Bay channel into big Green Bay. Lots of bridges and the ore boats that take up a lot of room. See the pictures above for our vistas today.


Menominee is 25 miles away across Green Bay, and just across the Wisconsin border into the Michigan upper peninsula. It was a beautiful day, calm water, and the boat ran beautifully. Tomorrow the ice maker guy will come to fix that, and then we are set for the summer.


At the end of the day, John and Jean Conyers came in to get gas in their sailboat. They just came in from a day of sailing and are at Centre Point Marina across the channel from us. We will go to dinner with them tomorrow evening. So we are running in to friends on the lake....small community for sure.


Thursday evening we are meeting with Lehman family, and Saturday and Sunday we will be in Wausau, WI to meet with Mary's brother and sister and various family members. So we will have some good days.


Hope you are well. Call or email anytime, we miss you.

Glad you finally got out of the car at least. Looks like you are having nice weather. We had rain all day today, but our lawns look wonderful.

We are looking forward to all your travels this summer. Travel safe and have a great time!
