ALL PLANS ARE “SOFT” AND CAN CHANGE 9/28/23
Good morning and hello from Kenosha! We planned to leave today and head down to Hammond and join our organized flotilla scheduled to depart Hammond on Oct 2nd.

Who Dat is loaded to the brim today, Wednesday September 20, 2023, as we departed our home port in Ephraim. Hard to believe that after all the planning and preparing, the day is finally here for Amy, Memphis, and I to begin America’s Great Loop. We put the flag up and pulled out of the…

ALMOST READY
We are getting closer to our departure date but still have lots to get done. We did a small 8 day final shake-down cruise last week as we visited several harbors in the waters of Green Bay. Wave Pointe, Menominee, Escanaba, and Fayette. All seems good and I think the boat is ready to go!…
