Hi everybody! Hope you are doing well and that you will have a warm September to continue cruising. Apple Festival is just around the corner and I can smell the apple pie from the Candy Shop.
It’s been a year since we left beautiful Bayfield to do the Great Circle Loop. We have done about 5,900 miles so far and are now anchored in Lake Champlain which is like a hybrid of a very small Lake Superior and a Colorado alpine lake but I don’t ever have thoughts like “Kitchi-gummi doesn’t give up her dead”—that was last September in Whitefish Bay with 6-8 foot seas, the most stressful crossing of our whole entire trip. If you can boat on Lake Superior, you can do anything.
This Peg will not be back in Lake Superior for quite awhile but we are sending you a new Peg, Loopers Peg Miller and her husband, Dave. You will probably notice their 44’ Tollycraft, Sea Ya, docked in the marina. We have told them how beautiful Bayfield is, how great the boating is in the Apostle Islands and how welcoming all of you are. Stop by and introduce yourselves and ask Dave to tell you about his special Navy escort out of a high security area. Anyone can make a little wrong turn.
Bayfield, the Apostle Islands and the BYC have been the benchmarks for us to measure other ports and we can report to you that you have rarely been surpassed. Even the Abacos in the Bahamas seemed to us like a turquoise blue Apostle Islands minus the bears but way more tiki bars.
It was fun to see Jill and Wayne, Frank, Phyllis and Gretchen as well as Vonnie and Erling in FL and to email with many of you along the way. I probably should have posted our website, and here it is http://www.babygrandadventure.blogspot.com/
We will be doing the Canadian canals next year and coming back into the Great Lakes and taking a few years to explore the Georgian Bay/North Channel area. We’ll keep the website going so join us on our adventure.
Wishing you fair skies and calm seas (We’re powerboaters now)
Peggy and Bob
