Home to Wisconsin !


We left Frankfort at 6 am with a good weather forecast for crossing Lake Michigan. There were a few swells for the first part of the trip but that was okay. Then, all of a sudden, the fog rolled in and we couldn't see 50 feet. This didn't last too long, but when that lifted, here's a view of the lake....






Here is the entrance to Sturgeon Bay. A welcome sight.







Finally, here we are. Because I learned so much this time about handling the boat, these shirts seemed appropriate.


After 243 days, about 6600 miles, 102 locks, passing under hundreds of bridges, 4 canals, too many rivers to mention, a couple of nail-biting times (for me), a new engine, a new transmission, a new drive shaft, but most importantly, many more memories of places we went and people we met, our Great Adventure is over !
