2013-2015 It's been awhile since the last post! We are headed to Mackinac Island.

We've done a lot since our last post. Here's the highlights! Later, I'll expound it.
2013- We wintered at Bennett Brothers in Wilmington, NC We would highly recommend them.
2014-
May.
          We attended our second AGLCA event. First one in Port St Joe, this one in Norfolk.
          We visited Tangier Island & Deltaville.
June.
          We brought the boat to Liberty Landing. Hated the NJ ICW!  What a view!
          We stayed at Liberty landing for over a month. We had the best time. (More later)
July
           We went to Block Island, RI. Lobster Rolls are better hot.
August
           We had Jimbo & Deanna join us in Mystic thru the Hampton's to Long Island.
           We watched Jimmy Buffett, Rod Stewart, & Santana from the boat at Jones Beach with
            Mike & Dara Zeringue.
September
           We headed up the Hudson River watching the leaves slowly change.
            We wintered in Brewerton at Winter Harbor . They are the WORST!
2015
May
            We got the Bayou Gypsy out of boat prison! It's called Winter Harbor, LLC! They
            charged $56k for incomplete, shoddy, unprofessional, work and left the boat an
            utter disaster. Thank God for Ess-Kay Yards! We spent several days at Ess-Kay
            repairing things Winter Harbor broke or did not finish (even though we paid them)
            Glad to be out of there!
June
           We visited Blodt's Castle in the 1000 Islands region of NY, then headed for the TSW.
           We spent almost 2 weeks traveling the Trent Severn Waterway. A good bit of the trip
           we travelled with Reggie & Emmy on M.E. Lou II. We loved the Peterborough lift
           and the big chute!
July
         Jimbo & Deanna joined us again. We played around the Georgian Bay for a few days,
         and traveled the big chute again.
         We loved Henry's Restaurant near Parry Sound, and stayed several days in Tobermory's.
         We added a battery isolator in Midland, Ont and a new water pump to the port engine in
         Drummond island.
August
          Mimi, Cha, Sophie, & Katie All joined us for a week on Mac Island. Mimi & Cha stayed
         at the Grand Hotel, while we "slummed it" in the marina. There's something nice about
         your own bed.
