That rain is ridiculous! Visibility measured in feet, not a portion of a mile...Did it pass quickly like usual for this time of year?

Lasted an hour like that. Severe storm didn't move. Had to tie off to a random dock.

So, we went down to Lake of the Ozarks for our annual long weekend trip, Thursday through Monday with about 20 of our friends and had an absolute blast. Here's a few pics from the weekend!

Spent last week on the boat. :D
Started in Traverse City and made our way to Boyne City for a few days before ending the trip in Charlevoix for the Venetian Festival.

It's really depressing looking at all you Northern Hemisphere folk enjoying the sunshine, when it's 6C here at the moment... :cry:
Give me a few months & revenge will be sweet! :lol: 8)

Just left Traverse and Charlevoix last Thursday with Bliss36. I loved Charlevoix and I'm working on next years trip. 1,000 mile round trip tow for me to get there and worth every mile of it. I hope we can spend a couple of weeks in the area next year. The guy in the slip across from me had just retired and sold his house and was living aboard a Monterey 298. Gave me a few ideas! :D
