After having done minimal cruising in more than a year due to COVID, it feels amazing to be back on the water and in motion. Last year we made a few boat trips, but mainly stayed in our adopted base- Cheboygan. This year promises to be different. We will be cruising again. For us this will mean 2 to 3 day stays at marinas, with some anchoring thrown in, as we point our way south. We’ll be following the eastern shoreline of Lake Michigan south to around Ludington and then we plan to cross the lake and check out the western shoreline in Wisconsin. We’ll find a marina somewhere near Chicago to wait out the Labor Day Weekend madness and then we plan to spend some time exploring Chicago. By mid September we will be dodging commercial traffic on the Illinois, Mississippi, and Ohio Rivers as we continue south to our eventual wintering spot somewhere on or near the Tennessee River.

Sounds like you have a solid plan! Also a fun plan.
Life is good, a lot the same (Ha).
More when there is something to write, that will be at least somewhat interesting to read.
There were 9′ waves under the Mackinac Bridge when we wanted to leave Mackinac City. Kept us in the marina 6 days longer than we wanted. My knitting helped stave off depression and I named it my “Happy Place Shawl” because it was bright colors and kept me from getting too depressed while we waited.
We also enjoyed touring the ice breaker while there. Very interesting.
Sounds really interesting. Glad you are able to be back in “exploring mode.” :^) Stay safe and journey on!!!
