| Sunset Muskegon Lake 8/25/2017 |
 |
| Happy, happy, happy with Cathy (Southern Cross) |
What a fantastic afternoon we had on Friday 8/25/2017!! Sanctuary crossed their wake at the mouth of
Muskegon Lake and I think the whole town showed up for the celebration!! Balloons, cheering, pictures, horn blowing…I
felt like we were in a parade!! In true
looper fashion…we all joined in on the festivities; Southern Cross, Jaycee
Lynn, Ivanhoe, Bad Habit, Tranquillity III and The Lower Place motored through
the channel & docked for the party!
Special thanks to Last Call (who crossed their wake earlier this month)
for showing up in their dinghy to take photos of everyone and to Cathy on
Southern Cross-she ordered banners of congratulation shipped to the
marina. The club house looked great!! It was a reunion filled with lots of smiles,
a few tears and of course looper family love!!
Congrats to Steve & Teresa!!
By the way, they haven’t made it to their dirt home yet, they are still
on the boat!!

We opted to stay in the marina for a few days and get some
much needed cleaning done – spiders and webs are never-ending. So Saturday was spent cleaning &
polishing isinglass, canvas and floors; a bike ride to West Marine (Charlie)
and naturally, laundry. Later in the day
I received a text about a pot luck dinner at the club house and I was happy to
share a blueberry cobbler – made from blueberries picked in the North Channel!
YUM!

On a more serious note – we have been attached to the
weather reports regarding Hurricane Harvey and the impact on our family in the
Houston area. As of this writing
everyone we know is safe and dry.
Prayers for all involved.
The weather in our area has been sunny, windy and cool at
night. Today (Sunday) the clouds have
rolled in & it’s spitting rain. We
plan to leave in the morning heading toward Chicago – we are days away but good
to know there is a destination. Our
friends on Tranquillity III & Ivanhoe headed out on Saturday with their own
plan. That’s the joy of loop travel,
everyone has their own ideas/routes and it’s a surprise when we cross paths
with each other!

We hope you have a safe and wonderful Sunday…be kind and
helpful – every face has a story.
God Bless!
