Holland MI. to Hammond Marina IN.

Priorities is back in the water after 6 weeks of being high and day. After painting the bottom, adding 2 more solar panels, new props, waxing, and cleaning she is ready to make another trip south. Sherri’s Dad got the OK to drive again after knee surgery so we are ready to head south too. We pulled out of our slip @ 6:15 am, waved goodbye to Sherri’s sister Deb who came to see us off and headed out the channel. After 10 hours on Lake MI. we arrived at Hammond Marina IN. Our ride today started out with 1 foot waves turned to 2-4 foot for a couple of hours and then flattened out for the rest of the way.

 Brand new props!

 

 Last day getting everything ready to leave. Cold and wet weather, its time to head south.
