Ep.0 South Manitou Shakedown

Our initial episode of Gerbers Underway! We sail to the beautiful island of South Manitou was our shakedown sail in 2022. This was our week long trip where we explored, tested the systems we've been working on refitting, and dreaming of full-time cruising.
We'll be picking up the story in 2023 as we move our cats on aboard and become full-time cruisers. We'll spend the summer in the Great Lakes before scooting down the east coast and beyond. Hit the subscribe button so you don't miss our adventure!

Happy traveling. I took the same trip on board my Pearson Vanguard some years ago. Be good (as I know you will) to the lock tenders as they can make sure all goes well.

Wait, wait, wait. I didn't see any footage of your friend Chad stopping by for a visit on South Manitou. If you could see my face right now you would see the look of disappointment.

I’m planning on doing this same trip this coming summer, from Muskegon to South Manitou. I’d love to hear what you learned.

It's an awesome trip! Great hiking on the island and some of the clearest water on Lake Michigan

Toasties and tomato soup - comfort food par excellence .
