Getting ready to leave Grand Haven
Well...after all the planning; and saving; and work...we are finally living on the boat full time. Today is our first full/official day on the boat without a Michigan home.
The last couple of weeks have been very hectic and tiresome...but I’m sure will be well worth it. We sold the house; moved out of Michigan; moved into our home in Chillicothe, IL, and our now back on the boat full time. Lots of work...but that’s behind us and now we’re on to cruising for a living.
This morning I am having my coffee and trying to plan my day. As I filled the water tanks this morning I noticed that the charge on the main battery bank seem a little low, so I’ll check the water and top that off to be sure we’re in good shape there. I also need to do a lot of organizing. When we loaded the boat over the last couple of weeks I just sort of shoved things in empty spaces...now it needs to be organized so we can really “live” on the boat. I also need to wash the boat...it is filthy (56 degrees today...that should be fun)
The plan (at this point) is to leave the dock on Sunday. Weather looks ok for the moment...but the main thing is the waves on the lake. Not exactly sure where we will stop Sunday evening...but thinking about South Haven, MI. Great little town with all the amenities for a cruiser. Probably spend a couple of days there.
So that’s all for now...it will take me a while to get back into this Captains log...but I’ll do my best to update our progress and our location.
