Yesterday we borrowed a courtesy car from the marina and drove to Eddyville so we could find a bigger grocery store and, more importantly, a liquor store to re-provision our pantry. Carey was also able to find a hardware store to buy some supplies to reattach our AGLCA (American Great Loop Cruisers Association) burgee when we purchase another one. We have since heard that a few other Loopers have also lost their burgees along the way. Maybe it was just a rite of passage for us!
Our new Looper friends, Larry and Sherry on Lady KK, arrived in Green Turtle Bay yesterday. They crossed their wake as they arrived and are now Gold Loopers! We were fortunate to join in the celebration of their success last night for dinner at the Commonwealth Yacht Club. We also met their son and daughter-in-law (Steve and Bev) who traveled from Minnesota to finish the Loop on Lady KK. We met Larry and Sherry when they were passing through Racine two weeks ago, just before we first started the Loop. We traveled with them for a few days, then separated for a while. It was nice to meet up with them again and congratulate them on completing the Loop!
Today is a day to finish up a few chores before we cruise south tomorrow. Get the laundry caught up, work in the engine room, clean the inside and outside of LeeLoo, etc. Normal weekend chores! With luck, the sun will finally come later today. Tomorrow promises to be in the low 80's and sunny, when we leave Green Turtle Bay and cruise south. We will most likely be anchoring out for a couple of nights so once again will be unable to add entries to our blog. Just know that we are having a great time and will have more adventures to share the next time we write!
Say hello to Larry from me. He stopped me from falling off the dock in Door County when I had an allergic reaction to a bee sting.
