Warning – Construction Zone Ahead
During the two week trip north from Stuart, FL in April this year, we were experiencing extreme high temps in the engine room. We have always had somewhat of a high temp problem and it has always been one of those frustrating problems for Rick. &…
We’re Baaaack!!!!
We are back, both on the blog and on the boat. Stuff happens, plans change, yada yada, whatever. Catch up time. The day after we got back to Minnesota, Mr List Maker made his list. We knew we had a short time to get alot of thin…
Not so Nice Here.
Now we are experiencing the ugly side of spring. Last night a cold front blew in and woke to temps in the mid thirties and flurries. By mid afternoon we warmed into the 40’s, and a cool rain fell most of the day. We need the ra…

Should be working on our taxes….
Yes, I should be working on our taxes, but we are having issues with our Navi-Nut version 2.0. It wasn’t tracking well. I have been on the phone with techs all morning trying to resolve it – my head is spinning. One tech even had the nerve …
Ebb & Flo (No they are not a R&B duo from the 70’s)
We are experiencing something called a Perigean Spring Tide resulting in extremely high and low tides. We are not tide people in Minnesota so we needed to google it. Turns out it happens about three or four times a year (in the spring and f…
