GETTING STARTED

We are almost underway! Tomorrow, Tuesday, is our departure date for the 2010 boating season. And a different type of season it will be.

Emery announced a few months ago that he did not want to move the boat so often and as widely as we have done in the past. So we rented a slip at our favorite Jacobson’s Marina Resort in Frankfort, Michigan for the summer. Then we decided it would be fun to have a house in town as well as the boat. So we have rented (for July and August) a restored Victorian house on Forest Avenue, a block from the beach and downtown and four blocks from the boat.

Then we decided we should bring “toys” to keep us busy for the summer. So we have jet skis and golf clubs and beach towels and coolers and, and, and…… You can see we are fully loaded for the trip. Thanks to our friend Nelson, we have two jet skis for the summer. Thanks Nelson for letting your jet ski vacation in Michigan with us!!! We will pull the jet ski trailer with our Jeep. Mary is pictured getting everything ready to go.

So tomorrow we start to drive across country to get to Frankfort to drop off the jet skis in Frankfort before getting on the car ferry across Lake Michigan to pick up the boat which is stored in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. We’ll stay in Wisconsin for a few weeks before going across to Michigan about the first of July.

Read the blog for this summer’s fun, and come visit us in Frankfort…we have lots of room. Cheers.
