As disappointing as this is after all of our efforts to prepare for our departure, we are thankful that we had not left as scheduled. We may have been in the damaged areas or worse yet in the path of the hurricane.
We are living on the boat for now enjoying sails on Lake Huron.We plan on taking a few trips to some nearby ports till the boat gets lifted out of the water for the season mid October. In the meantime, we are taking advantage of the time being spent on board with little jobs that had been left to do while "on our way south".
