Counting the days and now the hours

We're picking up the car at 9:30 a.m. and driving to Muskegon where we can leave the car. My brother will drive us the last 20 miles to Whitehall and Speakeasy. We plan to stop for blueberries and peaches, corn if it's ripe. But what we really want is to be on our boat. She (boats are always feminine) is where we feel most at home during the summer. Mark has checked the weather forecast: high waves and strong winds so we may have to rest in Whitehall for a day or two before heading back to Chicago.

If we get to The Book Nook, we can blog. If not, you'll hear from us within a week or so. We have friends waiting in the wings to help us if need be. But I'm sure we'll manage just fine. I may have to tread outside the cockpit more than usual. Mark may be at the helm. But we'll be on our boat.
