SUCCESS , THE TRIP IS OVER UNTIL JUNE 2013.
We had hoped to arrive in Manatowic between the 6-8th. The weather patterns said no way. Original plans had us going to Sturgeon Bay, miles to the North. From there we would work our way down the eastern coast of Lake Michigan to Manitowoc. Severe weather for the next 7 days made us feel lucky to get this one open day so we took Lydia the whole way to Manatowoc. The trip was boooooooring and seemed to laaaaaaaaast forever. There was nothing to see but water. Then a fog bank at least added something to worry about. We came in to port about 3 pm having left in the cold dark morning about 6 pm.
Manitowoc is nothing to write home about (although That is what I am doing).
Lydia will winter here until June.. She will have minor health issues addressed.
The blog will likely smolder until June. If there is any desire for us to keep it up please let me know. I plan just one more issue that will summarize some of our accomplishments this summer.
For those following us we thank you for your support and interest. May God bless you all.
i predict a cold beer, a hot shower, and a good nights sleep in a hotel in your future

Dear Dad and Marti! What an amazing adventure!! So glad you took to the seas to fulfill a life long dream! We have missed you, but reading your blog and emails made the time and distance easier. We are looking forward to having you sit at our island for a glass of wine and hearing all about the trip. Glad you are safe and sound. I know how tempted you must have been Dad to head out into a storm! We have been reminded of how fragile life can be, so are thankful you are living life, loving life and coming home. XOXO Susie
