Back Home

Last night in Door County, and was kind of warm. V-Berth was 100 degrees when we left for the play, but had cooled off to about 85 when we returned. Fortunately, as the sun went down, the boat cooled down more, so by the time we went to bed, it was around 75. We do have one small fan up there, and that helps! Leaving the campsite this morning, it was a very tight squeeze around a couple corners with the boat in tow. Any tighter and I may have had to back out the way we came in… First stop after leaving the park was at Lautenbach’s Orchard to do some cherry picking. The tart cherries are just about done. They said Thursday will be their last day for you pick cherries. We picked two large buckets full. Rosanne spent most of tonight pitting them and getting ready to make pies or to freeze. Passing through Egg Harbor, Rosanne took a few photos of some Egg art that was on display throughout the town. The next stop was at Wood Orchard Market. Our favorite Door County market. Bought a few items and enjoyed tasting some of their samples. Next stop was at Door Peninsula Winery, as Rosanne wanted to taste a couple of new drinks. She didn’t care for them, so we purchased some Fudge and Cheese, and then headed out. Then passing through Sturgeon Bay, Rosanne took some photos of some sailboat art throughout town. Seems like both these communities, (Egg Harbor and Sturgeon Bay), always have some art theme going on. Back home around 4p. Got stuff unloaded, and then Rosanne went to work on laundry, while I washed C-Traveler and the truck. Actually, I mowed the yard first…. We definitely don’t waste any time getting things back in order when we get home. Looks like my new CDI for the kicker will get delivered tomorrow, so I can get that changed out. Sure hope that is the fix! (If you remember, the kicker wouldn’t start this trip.) I also found a small leak in the bilge where the starboard trim tab hydraulic line comes in through the stern. So I’ll also be working on that in the next couple of days. This ends this trip. ColbyRead more
