Day Four in New Buffalo

This blog will chronicle our (Pat and Patty Anderson's)

cruising adventures on the Great Loop!

DAY 144 - August 22, 2017

A short one today, no pictures.

You can take your choice whether today is a weather day or waiting for boat repair day, and yesterday as well and tomorrow for that matter. The winds have been outrageously high out on Lake Michigan, and the forecast does not improve until Friday. So we would not have cruised even if the rub rail repair had been completed!

I talked to Ed from New Buffalo Marine Service this morning. He has found the repair parts, and was confirming the price and shipping cost with us before ordering - we need three 12 foot sections, which cannot be shipped UPS or FedEx for some reason, so they are coming DHL (I think that is what he said). Ed was reluctant to estimate what the labor charge would likely be.  We don't really have a lot of choice, and are really appreciative that there was somebody here in New Buffalo who was willing and able to get on it! We gave him the green light to place the order.

Otherwise, we did not do a whole lot today until later in the evening, when we went over to Tom and Mary's Mainship Clear Water for some adult beverages and a rousing game of Cards Against Humanity!  We all had lots of laughs. If you know this game it is a hoot!  Patty kicked butt!!
