Entre'

Another year has flown by! A cliché I know but considering my increased quotient of aches and pains, true. We arrived in Mackinaw City, MI today, saw Carrie Rose, and unloaded the contents of the car into her -- including two (that's right) two boats. She looks great especially since Charlotte ponied up the cash for the old dull gelcoat to be waxed and buffed. Can't wait to see the 23 y/o gal on the water. The plan is to get in the H2O, spend a few days living on her before driving back down to the Nordic Tug rendezvous in Elk Rapids. I know I said driving and you are wondering why not take the boat. Good question. Neither of us wants to traverse the Straits of Mackinaw twice in a week. Especially since we are heading East this summer into the Canadian canal system. More on this later.
