OUR PLAN

We are writing this blog for one reason and one reason only. To provide a vehicle to make it easier to remain in touch with our family and friends back home.



Our plan is simple. Depart our home port of Goderich, Ontario in the Summer of 2011. Cruise Georgian Bay and the North Channel of Lake Huron while visiting some of the ports and anchorages we have missed over the years. As well as revisiting some of our favourite haunts hopefully with some of our very good friends with whom we have cruised with many times before. All the while adding up the miles and gaining experience with our new trawler. Our first and only self imposed deadline is to be in the Chicago area around Labour Day. South of Chicago, weather and circumstances will guide us!

SEPT 26-27,2011- LITTLE DIVERSION CHANNEL TO LITTLE CHAIN BAR, MS TO GREEN TURTLE BAY, KY

The next few days would be very routine. Up early and go all day. We were pushing hard to get to Green Turtle Bay. This would be one of the most boring parts of the trip for me so far. The weather had straightened out by now so travelling was easier. I will let the pictures tell the story.
