We are in count down mode......in 15 days we will be on the road to Michigan with our last load, ready to begin "the dream".   Boxes are being packed, the pods have been ordered, last minute details on house being worked on before closing, etc, etc.....Good thing Bob is such a good organizer....as I tend to be somewhat paralyzed with feeling overwhelmed!...or maybe its fear!  I am sure that if all the stuff I have packed to go on the boat really does go on the boat....it will probably sink!..So once at the boat, at the dock...some more decisions will need to be made.  (and I'm not even referring to the shoes and purses!!)  I have never been a minimalist!

Bob wrapped up the past 2 weeks in Michigan, working on the boat etc.....he attached the new swim platform and steps, painted the bottom, applied the name, finished with varnishing and installing the interior doors, etc.....and she was officially launched!  There are (and always will be) a few more issues to deal with...as you that know what "B. O. A. T." stands for, understand!

I am also posting a map of the "great loop".....for those who are not quite sure exactly where we are going.  LeReve is now in the southern part of Lake Huron.  We hope to launch from there around June 1 and travel up Lake Huron to Rogers City.  The boat had to be registered in a home port.....so we will be showing her the new home port!  From there.....probably to the North Channel....1st rule in looping......NO schedule.
