Day 107 & 108- Aug 1 & 2 More of Elmwood Marina, Traverse City, MI

 DAY 107 & 108
August 1 & 2

If I had known what was in store here in Traverse City, I would have come years ago!  Not only did they make the world's largest cherry pie (in the world's largest pie pan!), they have really big cherries, too!




We had to do all the exciting things like reprovision and run errands. We rented a car to make our lives easier. This fence is one of the things we saw. Hmmmmm?



Well folks, the blog is taking a hiatus.
I am flying back to South Dakota for a wedding and some family time. Paul is committed to taking care of Grady cat, but, is not going to continue the blog while I'm gone. If he takes some really interesting photos while I'm gone I will post those later in the month.
 
Thanks for following us so far. 
The journey will continue.

Almost READY

Thanks for stopping by to check on our progress on the Great Loop. This is Cheryl writing today. Grady, the gray house/boat cat is now on board and getting adjusted to the new sites, smells and sounds. The plan is to depart the dock on Wednesday morning! Seems like we have been planning for a while and are almost ready to go. Tonight will be the first night sleeping on board. So far the boat is very well equipped and comfortable. Paul has done an excellent job of seeing that it is ready. For those who want more information on the Great Loop click on this to go to the FAQ section of the official site AGCLA. Check back for the next blog after we are underway. Let the fun begin!!

  Wow! Amazing! Incredible! Life changing, maybe not. Life changing is a comment that several people have made about this trip. But, we have learned that they had never lived on a boat before. They had hardly ever planned a route, anchored, docked, slept at anchor, handled lines, encountered weather and done all the things that Paul and I took for granted because we had both done many times in the past.  For this we are both thankful for the history we brought into this trip.  Paul's knowledge and past experience and research made the trip safe, fun and easy. Was it a once in a lifetime trip, YES! We met a lot of very friendly folks. Ate a lot of really good food. Laughed our way around the miles.  Saw so many sights we have to look back on this blog to remember them all. Any way about it we are part of a very small group of people to do this trip. I will be eternally grateful to Paul for inviting me to join him on the Loop. It was a simple question.  "Do you wa...
