Summer has arrived for us at Last!! Day 81 & 82 , August 21/22, The Soo

We decided to leave the next morning (Weds, August 21) & go across the river to Kemp Marina in Michigan, where we stayed in June. It is a much nicer marina.  We have chores of laundry, washing the boat, taking the kayak apart & need water & Kemp Marina is a much better place to complete these chores. They also have diesel priced @ $3.99/gal, which is a good price so both boats put some diesel in. We worked all day until cocktail time. I went on Krogen finder & found that Allizan had left this Marina just yesterday. Darn, missed them by one day :(  The boat, Hallelujah, who also just finished the Lake Superior coastline traveling counter clockwise, (we went clockwise) invited the 4 of us over for Docktails. This is our first time meeting or seeing them. They hit many of the same places we did. They are on a DeFever 44. They have done a great deal of boating, so they shared some stories & advice with us for the great loop trip. Thanks Barb & Dave for your hospitality. 

August 22, Thursday we stayed put because we needed to rest from the stressful work day yesterday & finish up a few things. There was a stressful situation in the laundry room yesterday, but it was resolved. We even did a little shopping today & stopped @ the American Legion because they were selling homemade pasties for $4.00 apiece & since we are such experts, we thought we needed to rate theirs. You know, we are back in pastie country. The Legion sells them frozen to go, which is fine.  We'll have them some cool evening in September. It is another beautiful warm, sunny day. 

Yes, another picture of a freighter!
