When are you gonna run up to a certain dentist's office and flip him off?

First thing we did when we got into town Saturday!

He's such a putz.

A trip to Boyne City isnt complete without a tour of a certain boat factory.....

Meet Susan Z....

Twin 427 fords.

Arnesons out back.

 

[Headless hula]

Italmas is equally as breathtaking, even though I'm not much into blowboats, the amount of work that has gone into her is amazing.

Damn...I was struggling to remember the Van Dam name during a conversation the other night around a campfire. Alcohol might have had something to do with the memory problem.

[Headless hula]

Launched, got it tied up in the slip, trailer is stashed, truck is parked.


Time for a cocktail.

 

[Headless hula]

View ain't too bad.

Captain Bob holding court in Horton Bay.

I've had worse days.



@Blue Oval

 

[Headless hula]

Hate to point it towards cheeseland tomorrow....


I have a creeping suspicion that the trip may get extended just a bit... playing the weather gets kinda sporty on the BIG LAKES....

 

[Headless hula]

Rollin back into Boyne City.

Hot damn....


What a blast hanging out with @Blue Oval and his wife.


Good seeing you and Heidi.


Thanks Bob.

 

[Headless hula]

Tied back up to the dock. All is Good.

 

[Headless hula]

That bright light above the engine is the moon. The rest is town. There may be a sailboat mast in the way...

 

[Headless hula]

G'night kids.

 

[Blue Oval]

Favorite part of the night! Cranking AC/DC for those about to rock. And timing it to The lowering of the flag!

 

[Blue Oval]

The sunset was a little lame. But the full moon made up for it.

 

[Headless hula]

Good morning. Just on our way back from grabbing a cup of coffee. We'll be loading up and headed north pretty soon.

 

[Headless hula]

 

[Headless hula]

Loaded, wiped down, wrapped up, and ready for the next stop. We'll be heading back over the big bridge to the U.P. shortly.

 

[Headless hula]

@Blue Oval , as always great seeing you and Heidi. Thank you again, your hospitality is very much appreciated.

I like that travel cover.

 

[Headless hula]

I like that travel cover.

It was made by P & G canvas out on Long Island. It came with the boat.

Swing into the Pine Grove and have one for me.

 

[Blue Oval]

For the members that are not familiar with Torch Lake. I thought these pics were cool.

 

[Blue Oval]

The neighbor came over and asked if I had a 52 amp fuse at the shop.

 

[Carlson-jet]

If he's older than 45, let him borrow a pair of readers. He could be in denial. I was. lol

If not, charge him double beers.

 

[Headless hula]

Couple of pics from the trip up.

 

[Headless hula]

Currently floating in the marina at Munising. Lake Superior. Pictured rocks National Lakeshore.

 

[Headless hula]

 

[Blue Oval]

Is there any ice in the lake up there? Where did everyone go?

 

[Headless hula]

Grand Marais. Roughly 45 miles east of Munising. Hula likes the big lake in the morning.

Happened to be a roach coach next to the beach. Breakfast is tasty.

 

[Carlson-jet]

Awesome.

We dodged ice all the way over. Sketchy as hell Bob...

 

[Headless hula]

We're headed out of Grand Marais.

Headed back west to Grand island. Gotta see what's on the other side.

OK, I usually just lurk here in the Midwest thread. I look at life out there, and the bitchin scenery. I have to comment on these though. Hands down, the most classy, sexy, badass work of art I've seen. Modern lines built with serious skills. Even the Sean Connery "Bond" couldn't have a slicker float than this. Some things just have a style all their own.

The people who own and build the boats are awesome people. Ben and his Father are always willing to drag the latest project down to the Boyne Thunder Street Show.

Miles so far this morning.

This latest boating adventure should have been it's own thread, truly awesome

To be clear, is it the entire Mid-West that's "CLOSED" or just Wisconsin ?

The guy that owns this joint should really be kickin in for gas and meals

Thanks again for taking the time and pics to share

 

[Headless hula]

Just tossed in the anchor. Its 10 feet deep here. Water clarity is nuts.

The entire upper midwest is snowed in Larry. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, we're all screwed. Grocery stores are running out of food, it's truly a sad situation. Stay away at all costs.

Wood island, west of grand island.

Looking NNW.

Yes, I can see that, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It’s mid week in upper Michigan. Not much for traffic.

 

[Blue Oval]

What is the water temps?

 

[Headless hula]

Loaded back up. Headed for the cheddar curtain.

 

[Headless hula]

Headed for Gwynn.

Crazy isn’t it?

Had to stop and get gas for the snow blower on my way home from work.

There is a good pic of the Tuesday night full moon. This is Round Lake looking over the Belvedere Club boat houses.
