Well done captain and crew! Be sure to get some fudge from Murdicks. I spend 56 Summers on Lake Charlevoix and miss it very much.

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

We did get some fudge

There called lines, good video be nice to see more approaching harbors in the Great Lakes

[@haroldconnell2973]

Well done

[@mpgarr]

Another successful docking. You didn't crush a post, the dock, your boat or another boat. You all seem to have both the line handling down and so does the helmsman.

Good job chief 👏

[@timroberts3139]

I am working on convincing my Wife to go on the Great loop and buying an old trawler and doing it on a very small budget. I have been sharing the progress trip video footage of You, Bev, and Pete and of Daisy. If this happens for us in 2 years or so; it will be because of watching You 3 do this on a tight budget and just making it happen.

It’s not easy and I will say you have to have a little money, but if we can do it anyone can.

Smooth 👍

I was at that island 50 years ago

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Not a lot of change

[@muffykmt]

Did you see the house that burned a few weeks ago, next to the yacht club (above the marina). It was a beautiful place, very sad it burned and hope they can/will restore it.

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Yes we did see it

[@rfdinesen4027]

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]
