Brian and I began our Loop quest in 2017, averaging approximately 600 miles each year during Loral's vacation time.  Trailering has been critical for us to enjoy segment looping pre-retirement.  Weeeelll, we are both fully retired now, and after spending a record number of days on Port-A-Gee in 2020/2021 we began the conversation about the practicality of our 26' trailer-able boat.  We really like to stay at anchor, but we are limited to a max of 3 days always cognizant of our water, battery and waste challenges.  While we have not made a decision, we have brought Curtis Stokes into the conversation to investigate options that will make our cruising more comfortable - we will see!

8/25/23 - 9/10/23 - Detour Village, MI to Racine, WI (Lake Michigan) PORT-A-GEE IS GOLD!!!

Fri - Sat 8/25-26/23 - Detour Village, MI to Mackinaw City, MI (Mackinaw Municipal Marina) (39.7NM) Our buddy boats agreed on an 8:00 a.m. departure. We enjoyed a gorgeous day on Lake Huron via St. Mary's River.  Calm seas and sunny skies!! It was very exciting to see the Mighty Mac Bridge and lighthouses coming into view.   Mackinac Suspension Bridge As we got closer, we were thrashed around by the huge wakes left by the speeding Island Ferries. Port-A-Gee secured a slip in the Municipal Marina while our buddy boats stayed at the adjacent Strait's State Harbor. The Municipal Marina is the aforementioned ferry boats' port, so we were alerted to all departures with the blast of their horn. We walked around town.  It was pretty touristy, and kind of tacky, with LOTS of tee-shirt, ice cream & fudge shops.  It was kind of hard to find a good place to dine.  Mackinaw City has really benefitted from being the source of transport to Mackinac Island. The crews of Summer Place,

Starting Over in 2022! (8/20/22)

Port-A-Gee's quest to complete the Great Loop began in 2017, as documented on our blog.  Our last post indicated that we were considering a more livable boat that would accommodate our desire to stay at anchor more frequently.  All boaters know that once the words "SHOULD WE GET A BIGGER BOAT?" are expelled into the universe, there is no turning back!  We sold our beloved Cutwater-26 in June 2021.  We purchased our new-to-us 2002 Mainship Pilot-34 in September 2021 in Port Washington, WI.  This location not only erased all the Loop miles that we have logged, but it also put us negative 40 miles!!  Oh well, in the words of the great Cubs Hall of Famer, Ernie Banks, "Let's Play 2".  The Mainship Pilot checked a lot of the boxes, but not all of them. We ran out of time getting her ready to Loop by Fall 2021, so the new Port-A-Gee went into winter storage, and we rented a condo in Cape Coral for the winter.  We loved the "ground" activities of golf, pi

5/20 - 6/3/23 Troy, NY - Central Square, NY (Brewerton) (Erie Canal)

Image
Sat, 5/20/23 - Lock #2, Waterford, NY to Vischer Ferry, NY (Lock 7) (12.7nm) .  Moon Dance IV, was the first to leave and catch the first lock through.  We were monitoring channel 13, and discovered the Federal Lock was full, so we decided to wait for that batch to come through and then head over to Lock 2 and begin our Erie Canal adventure. The fork in the road forced a decision to go east on the Champlain Canal or West on the Erie Canal. We chose the Western route. The area around the Welcome Center was charming.  They were setting up for the annual Canal Festival. Erie Canal rises 566 feet from the Hudson River to Lake Erie through 35 locks, of which we will do 23. We already went through the first one in Troy on Thursday. Day 1 - Waterford Flight of 5 locks that are done sequentially + Lock 7 for another 11 miles: MM 0.63 - E2 Waterford, up 33.6 MM 1.09 - E3 Waterford, up 34.5' MM 1.60 - E4 Waterford, up 34.5' MM 1.87 - E5 Waterford, up 33.3' MM 2.15 - E6 Crescent, up 3
