Cruise 2000

| Lake Michigan is so different to us. After gaining our entire boating experience in the Pacific ocean, we began to notice the differences. This may sound silly to you, but I just take for granted certain things. One thing, it doesn't smell salty (I miss that wonderful smell). I expect to see dolphins jumping and pelicans diving. In fact, I see very few birds while we are underway. But I get to see some fun things that we don't see in the Pacific like Swans and their funny little signets, Canada geese, crayfish galore, black squirrels, and mayflies (aren't those funny bugs). And crazy weather! |

Skipper CJ checking the charts for our first trip of the cruise up to Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Then across the lake to the Michigan side. |
| First Mate, Duncan, lends his expert advice, "I believe that if you keep the land to your port side, you should get us there just fine." |
|
| Going to the different ports has been fun. Everybody, the marina people, fuel docks, boaters, and the kids are so nice. It's ok to let Flipper and Pokey go to the marina walkways on their scooters without supervision. They almost always find somebody nice to play with. So far they haven't asked when are we going home, I think they are enjoying the trip too. Although they miss their friends, they know that they will see them again in December. It helps to have them send email and phone their friends |

| Ahh, isn't he cute? He has been such a good boy as if boating is the natural thing for a little dog. Duncan loves everything except big dogs, big boys, skateboarders, bikers, joggers... Well almost everything. |
