After spending 3 weeks in Racine visiting with family and friends, a couple of  boat rides and celebrating Diane's  Mom's 91st  birthday, Stan and his good boating friend, Dave Macnamara left Racine at 6:15 am for Hammond, Ind.  They traveled 73 miles and arrived at Hammond Marina at 1:30 pm.  Diane drove Dave's car and they switched places after docking.  Total miles traveled is 321.5.

Among our guests were Troy Edwards and boys Andrew and Chris.  They had a great time fishing, caught two fish on a charter boat that Troy fried up for lunch...delicious!  They (the boys) even went swimming off the back of the boat (think it was a little chilly).

Special thanks to son-in-law Rick and his family for spending a boring day hooking up our TV antenna.  Much appreciated.  We still owe them a ride.

We enjoyed showing off our new home to all who visited and will start down the river system tomorrow entering at the Cal-Sag canal.
