Our first night in our boat in our slip, and neither one of us slept very good. It was an extremely windy night, and one of the lines was sqeaking and kept us awake, and neither one of us got up to fix it. Kip met the guys at the Galley for breakfast. Ashley and Kobi came down, and it was nice to see them. We did a bit of shopping and took a long nap. Gwen stopped by to visit too.
It's a cloudy day in Lake City. It's also a sad day because there is a funeral today for Tony Hebert who was 19 and was killed in combat in Iraq. Many stores were closed and the streets were lined with people and cars. The Patriot Guard (motorcycles) was here making certain that anti war protestors do not disturb the funeral. To read about the Patriot Guard, go to http://www.mnpatriotguard.org/past.asp
Parked at the end of our dock is this 1968 68’ Director that makes our Roamer look small……….. it is also made out of aluminum. The 4 man crew on board are bringing the boat from Florida and taking her to Hudson, Wisconsin on the St Croix river. They were no longer on need of their provisions so that gave them all to us (fresh veggies, pork chops, salad fixins and such). One of the crew said nice Roamer…”you don’t see many of them anymore especially up here”
We will use this week to "wean" you off of our blog... haha
