There is too much to fit into one release.  I am, therefore, stretching it out over a couple of weeks.  it was a fun trip and I'll try to make this recap fun for everyone . . . especially those who could not attend.

Rally at the Courthouse PUB in Manitowoc

Picture
OK, let's get some names.  The first face is that of Barb Sitlkiewitz, I think she is talking to Sharon Magnusson whose back is to us (rude).  Blue shirt is Gary Heiman, green sweater is Karen Bouril talking to Bob Warren's and Barb Heiman.  Overseeing the group on the right is our President John Torrison.

As everyone around them talk about the trip, little do they know, Marlene and Del plot to take over the ship.

OK, has everyone gone to the bathroom??

Goodbye Manitowoc

Talking "Ship"

Picture
Marlene is not very interested in this conversation . . . as a matter of fact, I think her eyes are closed and she is sleeping.  Can't really tell with those dark sunglasses.  Her "tell" was her chin slid off her hand at least 3 times while I was talking.

Picture
On the ship we set up shop on the Bow (front).  We set up powerful speakers that were set to "Party Mode" and played oldies mixed with some country and modern music - like Jake Owen,  Jimmy Buffet, Gordon Lightfoot, Oak Ridge Boys.  We had the attention of many people on the ship who brought their lounge chairs close to listen to the music.  We even had a few dancers in the crowd.  It was a blast!

To her relief, Barb spotted land.  
"Looks like we are going to make it  to the other side."  
​
Gary says - "Whatever!"
​

ARRIVAL IN LUDDINGTON!

Picture

To Barb's credit . . . here is the Ludington MI lighthouse!

Picture

WOW! It appears we will land at the Yacht Club.  Wonder how long
it takes to find a parking spot!

Picture

There is a good spot, why not park there?

Picture

Looks like we're going to park in that crappy old spot there next to that beat up old boat!  I like the yacht club better - what do you think?

Picture

Everyone is looking at the "Spartan"  It's a boat that is a twin to the SS Badger - it has seen better days.  I'm pretty sure if it was in Wisconsin it would have been in a recycle bin years ago.  Of course, by now, the Badger would be there too . .. twins again!

Picture

Awaiting our ride to the Ludngton House.  Do we get there?  Tune in next week and find out!
