Friday July 23, 2010. I took the day off of work to prepare for the trip to Sturgeon Bay. Susan had to work at least half of day. We woke up and the weather was not pleasant. The day prior we had received 4" of rain and many streets were flooded. Our vacation companion, Scott, was suffering from the storm Thursday and Friday with a sewer water filled basement, however, that was not going to stop him from his trip.
By the time we had left the house it was close to 4pm (not the stellar start I wanted). I had purchased a new winch handle (the trailer did not have one when we bought it) and was impressed on how well it worked. Even though I had the new handle I did not crank the boat as much as I should have. We did not have the proper tounge weight and the truck could not go more then 60 mph without feeling like we where going to end up in the ditch!
Once in Stugeon Bay after the white nuckle trip through Green Bay at rush hour with hwy 172 closed we could finally relax. Well not really we had to put the boat back together which takes a few hours of messing around (the boat is too tall for the hwy and needs to be disasembled and then put back together). By the time the kids were in bed it was time for us to hit the sack too.
"Where it is always right!"
