We have been in the UP internet dead zone for a few days but are now below the Soiux locks and in Lake Huron. Mostly smooth sailing and dogs adapt well to the varying dock levels and conditions. We made it through our first lock smoothly and are heading for Lake Michigan. Nice fresh lake trout last night and venison steak this evening. We said farewell to second mate John Felix and Trixie - great asset for the start of our journey. Enjoy every day folks!

The water was glass heading into the St Mary's river Thursday morning.

Brett likes to move around the bridge while cruising.

Our friend enjoys social time on the boat.

Customs is every where - 3 300 hp Verado's on their zodiac.

Whitefish point museum was nice.

AIS is working well - the Gott is a 1000 footer.

We got to Ashland marina 9/1 - 3 wind days in Houghton and then a one day calm window - 142 miles. Predawn dog walk - zero wind. Looking back East from the dock in Houghton at sunrise. Ready to leave on our last travel day before home dock. Off the dock 7 AM Eastern. Beautiful morning heading out the Keewenaw canal. The big pond was calm most of the way. Porcupine Mountain ski area. Copper Peak ski flying Some times there was zero wind and others we got up to about 1.5 foot waves. John was with us on the Ark when we left Ashland 8/15/21 - escort boat in 9/1/22. Stopped for a photo about 2 PM Central time - 142 miles 8 hours - included a stop for fuel and a dog walk at Saxon Harbor Ocky droned us but I can't find the drone pictures.

Getting ready to head down lake

 After 20+ years of talking and planning and 5 years rehabilitating and working on the Ark to get her in ship shape along with getting the captain and first mate up to speed with her operations we are close to leaving the Ashland Marina and starting our Great Loop adventure - this is my first shot at a blog to keep family and friends up to speed with our progress. We will try to post photos and thoughts as we loop out the Eastern half of the USA by water.

Visited looper friends Terry and Connie who we met during our time at Kingfisher Bay in Demopolis, AL. 8/27 we had more wind than predicted but we were still able to run on plane and got into Marquette about noon just as the wind was picking up steam. Leaving George Kemp at sunrise - helped off the dock by Scott - skipper of the Jenna Lou II that was docked very close to us in Ashland for a year - they are just starting their loop and we wish them smooth cruising and a great time! Looking at the Too locks from the down stream side. Ditto We have mastered or at least greatly improved our locking technique just in time for our last lock. 21 feet up into the Big Pond After raising 21 feet - the view differential is always interesting. Last lock opening Lock open but gate still down so we float and wait. Freighter tied off in front of t...
