We got the Spinnaker

Andy and his friend Bob, and the sailmaker went out last Saturday to try out our new spinnaker. Here are some pictures of it. We designed the pattern.

New Border Crossing Standards

I just saw this on the GLCC website. There are new requirements for border crossings as of June 1, 2009.

Feeling a little "under the weather"

Today was a big day! Andy and his friend Bob, and the guys who made our spinnaker sail took it out for a test run on Island Time. Where was I? Oh man, flat on my back on the sofa at home in DeWitt with a nasty virus that has made my throat feel like hamburger. Andy said he got some pictures. I promise I'll keep you updated with pictures and video at a later date.

Last weekend we finally got into our "permanent" slip for the summer, G-Pier #2 at Great Lakes Marina, Muskegon. Here's the link: http://www.greatlakesmarina.com/ Come and visit us!
