   Yes it's true, they are talking snow....and we are still talking boating, camping ,fishing........2009 Summer was NOT something to ever be talked about again when talking about the weather..it was Horrible, but we still had a great summer. We went boating,and wore coats, we went swimming and wore coats, we road the rides of the Elk Rapids Harbor Days.... and wore coats. We even did some awesome Salmon fishing...all while wearing coats, Maryannne even had gloves on when she was trolling the boat....We had 2, 90 degree days this summer, and more then I care to talk about at 50 degrees to 60 degrees. And Yet we managed to have some great times and good memories of wearing coats and hats, in the Rain......
   

   
   

   We are now going to be slipped in Ludingtons Harborview Marina, it's elegant and has many attributes like their own swimming pool and Jacuzzi tub. There is so much to do in the Ludington Area, Stephanie and Steve, just love it....sandy beaches and dunes cold rivers and deep fishing holes.

   
   
   
   

the End to a Great Summer!!!

The Projects, it's a massive power generating plant in Ludington, this is from 200 feet above the plant,right next to the 27 billion gallon resevoir behind us where they store the water and release it down the tubes at night......

Well the season has ended it, we are now dry docked in the driveway, it's sad, just sad. But good news we are on the slip list at Ludington and it's not that big of a list, only two people ahead of us, so I'm sure we'll be in for next year. I can't wait... and I know Maryanne's excited as I am, Ludington is closer and well it's as beautiful as Elk Rapids too.

Heres some pics of our time in Ludington.....On the Wall,where we enjoy staying.....

Summer's ending, but Fall and Winter....Yeah

Here it is, Fall... the end of Summer, the end of Sandy Beaches,Hot sticky days and Ice Cold Lemonade. What are you thinking it's going to be 80 degree's this weekend and not a cloud in the sky, says' the Weather man, but he's been worng all summer.. so who do you believe.... ah Believe this, MaryAnne and I have had a great summer, wind waves and rain aside, it's been great, spending time with my Wife, fishing, camping and well speding a lot of time in the Marina, the weather has been horrible.....

Finally warm and wonderful weather.

The SS Badger in Ludington and our new Sweet spot for Fishing in the Basin......Michigan what a great State.

Some of these pics are from Elk Rapids and Ludington, Myself fishing.... Not a good Look for me.

This is a new sweet spot in Elk Rapids and the other is a Aerial view from a Ferris wheel at Harbor days in Elk Rapids, a picture of the marina.

It's been a very cold summer, in Elk Rapids it's been windy and rainy all summer long,never had many days to Tan. The Fish weren't biting and the weather was not cooperating with us so we decided to move the boat to Ludington Michigan. Well this didn't turn out well either, the wind was causing a lot of waves, but we did get out to fish a few times. We were able to land a few fish, one being ALMOST 20lbs.

Ludington is a Great place to spend the summer, there are so many things to do and see, we will be returning to Ludington for the next few weeks as long as the weather holds out, hoping to catch more fish and a little swimming along the way. Here's some pictures of our summer so far, enjoy....

Summer Weather, Not So Good!!!!!

We've traveled to Elk Rapids Many times this year so far, and so far that's as far as we've went. The weather has not cooperated at all, we've had Waves and Wind whenever we've hit the water. Rain Dominated our vacation, and we'll hasn't really improved yet..... the rest of the summer we are hoping to enjoy on the water, with Sun filled Days and warm Breezes coming off Lake Michigan....Next weekend is Harbor Days in our Favorite Port, we'll be there,then we're off to Ludington to TRY to catch some salmon... Wish Us Luck .....

Spring is here at Last!!!!!

Tomorrow is Saturday and Ambiance is coming home, I have a lot of work to do on her ,installing new Fishing gear and Hopefully a Fishfinder soon, if my Beautiful,Loving, and very understanding wife let's me. I'm sure that Ambiance will be very filthy and will need to be cleaned completely. What a job that will be but it's a labor of love for sure. We're hoping to get out on the water in April if it gets warm enough, if not I certainly have a lot of time to Rig the boat. Ok these are last years pics, I'll update later.

Karidan, the glasses look great it's nice to be able to see everything as it truely is, isn't it?

First 2009 Winter getaway

Its was a great time in Alanson Michigan. We went up snowmobiling,it snowed and snowed most of the time we were there. Took ou the sled only to find one was broken, it would'nt stay on the trail in a straight line,we think the front shock is busted. Went over to "the Tunnel of Trees" near Harbor Springs and it was so beautiful,locked and loaded in 4x4 withthe Big snowmobile...Ford Truck we toured the West Coastof Lake Michigan. Wow, we seen a lot of Deer, saw beautiful sea scapes,the Lake was rough and Majestic. Went sledding up to The Bridge on the rails to trails, what a site to see along the trails. It was all so prestine, white powder,smooth trails and a Hot Tub at the end of the trail...Ah So Nice....
