Oh the joy of Fall boating! Stella is lucky to be one of the last boats pulled and stored, or should I say we are lucky! The Fall weather has been beautiful the past 7 days and seems to be looking good for the near future as well! We are thankful and keeping Stella in the water till the last possible day seems to be paying off! But, the Marina has given us a deadline to pull her out to insure our indoor heated spot. So Stella's last day in the water will be October 24. A sad day and also a bit scary if you watch her getting pulled out. The Captain will be there, the Admiral can't go.....the Admiral can't stand watching Stella dangling at the mercy of a crane. When she is settled in the storage facility, then the Admiral will visit.
In the meantime we are trying to get out on Lake Michigan as often as possible. This Fall picture is not quite peak colors but very close! It was a gorgeous 75 degree Fall day, the water still and clear. Captain David and the Admiral can't believe the season is almost over and yet it seems a long time since we brought her around the state of Michigan to her new home. We will be planning a trip for next summer over the winter. Georgian Bay is in the running as is a trip to Chicago! We will be doing some minor repair work to Stella this winter and she will also get her usual cleaning and waxing. Boating duties never end, but it gives us an excuse to visit her and relive Stella adventures!
Captain David and the Admiral have a sunset toast!
Fall colors on Lake Michigan!
Blues skies and calm waters......Tracy

It is cool to stay in water in hot summer days, while it is already cool in China now, so i'd better to leave the chance till the next year, may you happy
I love the colors of fall especially the fall of leaves. I hope I am home on fall.
