October 21, 2013 Grand Harbor Marina

After several wonderful days of anchoring we made it to Pickwick Lock but had to wait for some time and that delay left us in the dark with 10 miles to Grand Harbor where we had originally planned on staying the night.  We opted instead for Pickwick Landing marina a short distance from the lock.  Exciting  way to enter an unknown marina.

October 14, 2013 Green Turtle Bay marina

At Green Turtle Bay marina in Grand River, KY.  Wonderful place.  Fall colors are just beginning to show but it's been warm enough for us to go swimming in a little cove not far from here.

October 5, 2013 Hoppies marina

We are departing Hoppies tomorrow after spending two nights here to wait out some weather with three other boats.  Priceless experience!  Fern, owner of Hoppies is a character who fits all the previous comments about her.

Whats new September 2013

All of our recent posts can be found at Where is BeachQuest blog.

We're currently on the way to Chicago and the river system.  And hoping we'll be able to travel south quickly enough to escape those dastardly temperatures.  Anything under 60 brings out the winter coats ... well,  what we have for winter coats.  Which isn't quite like the outwear we owned living in Wisconsin all those years.

Hopefully we'll catch up with Barefoot'n, Sea Glide, Papillon, Miss GG, ShellSeeker, and several others.  We're trying!

... finds us at Heritage Harbor marina in Ottawa Illinois.  We're here anticipating driving a rental car up to WI for my permanent crown and Mary's Dr. Appointment.  If we cant work that out Monday we'll just head south and figure something out down near Alton.  My verbal musing about the journey so far can be found here at our Where is BeachQuest blog

July 21 2013

It's difficult enough to keep up one blog.  And two is...  well you can see how I'm doing.

We have another blog, where we are now which I had intended to keep up to date with short little posting indicating where we are currently docked or anchored.  It seems to have morphed in to a more full blown blogging effort.  I'm still compiling notes and pictures here, but the more up to date posting are always at our where we are now blog.
