In the last blog I mentioned the big boats that had pulled in to Jacobson’s Marina. Well, it turns out all those boats belong to the DeVos family whose fortune comes from Amway Products. And we saw all the boats again. We believe they have a total of 6 of these very large boats capable of moving along at about 35 knots.
Our friends Greg and Sally, our friends from the vessel Odyssey came to visit. We met Odyssey in the Trent Severn Waterway in Year 1, and have kept in touch ever since. Greg and Sally drove over from Aus Gres, MI to spend the day with us. We decided to take the boat up to Leland for lunch. For us, Leland is about 1.5 hours north of Frankfort by boat. Getting out of Frankfort we had to jockey around the big boats to get out, and learned they were moving….to Leland.
Off we went, soon to be passed by the big boats. Being passed is a new phenomenon for us as The Emerys is a FAST boat. Anyway, they were in the harbor at Leland when we pulled in, and attached are some pictures. Leland is a small harbor, so Russell the harbormaster rafted off the boats (parked two boats at the dock and then parked the other two off those). Hard to travel in a group of boats that large.
Anyway, we had a good visit with Greg and Sally and are now on our way to pick up Heather and Jennifer. They will spend a few days with us, and Heather in particular is looking forward to cool Michigan weather (after a summer in 100 degree Williamsburg). Since we are late in posting this blog, we will very soon post a blog about Heather’s and Jennifer’s visit with us in Frankfort. Hope all is well with you and yours. Cheers.
