Nothing ever goes according to plan A....after passing on a trip to the local Ace Hardware and waiting all morning to see the electrical guru....we headed to the grocery store and to see about a haircut for Captain Floyd. Of course that’s when the call came, he’s not coming. Evidently this Charlevoix system is most sophisticated and can sense imbalances ....and we’ll be fine at most other places. He’s got to meet us in Leland for AIS install and has a couple of ideas for solutions...but the reality is we could spend thousands of dollars and tons of man hours and still never solve the problem. This is not the time of year to chase that rabbit....so with new cables...we’ve made new plans.

We are heading to Petoskey later today....depending on how electrical works (electrical guru says we’ll be fine)....then Harbor Springs on Friday. Monday we’ll rent a car and do a couple of day trips ...up and over the Mackinaw bridge....cause we’ve already been under it! We’re sure considering a trip via our boat to Beaver Island...then head south....we’re sure to run into summer somewhere along the way...still 50 ...cool and foggy...

And yes, we made it to the grocery store and Floyd got a haircut! Best he’s had in ages!! May return next week for a straight razor shave....it’s on his bucket list!

Another great evening out with the Bemis couple ....Life is good!
