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!

We Are Starting 2009


Hello to everyone.

We are in Williamsburg getting ready for departure for Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin on June 10th. See the photo above of Emery moving the stock of good wine in Williamsburg to its summer storage location as a sample of the "getting the house ready for closing for 3 months" activities.

"The Emerys" spent the winter in storage in Sturgeon Bay and we will have it pulled out on June 15th. As many of you know, we offered the boat for sale but there are no takers. So we are happily planning to spend another summer in the Midwest.

The overall plan is to get to several family reunions this summer (four so far), spend 3 weeks in August in the North Channel of Lake Huron, touch into Lake Superior and end up with the boat in storage for winter 2009/10 in Michigan in mid-September.
We breezed through the North Channel at the end of our Virginia to Michigan trip in summer, 2007; we have heard so much about it that we are going to go back to enjoy it.

We are delighted to be able to spend a third summer on the boat, and hope you will tune in to catch the fun and adventures. Enjoy your summer; feel free to call us on my cell phone (757 810-8717) or email at mjlehman@cox.net. Or come visit, we can always fit you in. Cheers.
