We were getting ready for a few days away from the dock with a destination of Raspberry Island in mind. Last minute provisions (beer) were purchased and stowed and water was taken on. I got the kayak tied on the davits like you see in the banner picture on the blog site. We had a … Continue reading Oops, sorry about that and a trip to Raspberry Island that wasn’t
Blogging Takes Discipline (and internet)
We've been keeping busy here in Bayfield with a variety of things but unfortunately the only sailing we've done is on someone else's boat. We did manage to get launched about a week ago but parts trouble has kept us from getting our mast up. We have all new sails in the backseat of the … Continue reading Blogging Takes Discipline (and internet)
Lake Superior at Last
We got the rental house cleaned out and hit the road last Tuesday. We had several stops along the way to visit family and arrived in Bayfield Saturday.

Noodin’s on the Road
Thanks to a great truck driver and some friends, Noodin set off towards Bayfield this afternoon. All went well in spite of some impatient folks with a crane. We have a house to empty and then we'll follow along next week. See you in Bayfield Noodin! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

The old dodger was pretty haggard and the windows were very hard to see through. Phebe used the old dodger as a pattern for the new one and … Continue reading The List is Getting Shorter

Moving to the Tiny House
We sold our 3,000 square foot foot house and moved into a 1,500 square foot rental. I'm not sure how to measure the size of the new "house" but it's well under 300 square feet. An example of the downsizing is the barbecue grills. The large scale grill has been sold and replaced with the … Continue reading Moving to the Tiny House
Attention Local Bargain Hunters
As I mentioned in a previous post, we need to be out of here (rental house in Turah) in about a month and we still have a lot of things that need to be sold or given away. Many of these things can be found on Craigslist by clicking HERE. Check the link often as … Continue reading Attention Local Bargain Hunters
The Final Push is On
We've returned from our travels which included 17 states, 7,500 miles of driving and about 60 nights away from home. Makes me tired just writing it. Now we're back home in Turah, MT concentrating on getting Noodin ready and also getting our personal belongings squared away. Noodin leaves here on a truck about May 11th … Continue reading The Final Push is On
