We're Off!

Wednesday,  Sept. 5

We moved onto the boat Tuesday after preparing the house for the housesitters, the newlyweds
Jeremiah and Heidi. Friends Doug and Pat Reichenbach were our taxi service, much appreciated.
The wedding weekend was wonderful and we are very pleased to welcome Jeremiah as our new
son-in-law. It was also a chance to visit with all our families as we said our goodbyes.
The weather was beautiful all day as we motored and motorsailed to Erie for our first night. It was
a very peaceful anchorage in the protected Presque Isle Marina Bay. We swam off the boat and
went ashore with the dinghy for a walk. It was a wonderful first day and we're excited to experience
the rest of our trip.
By the way it was a zero dollar day, which means no charge for dockage and we ate all meals on
the boat.
