Re: Stuart, FL To Racine, WI On A 60MY
This thread is a strong contender for HOF thread of the year. I really looked forward to reading the updates, problems, and solutions. Well presented, well written, and well cast.
Look forward to the next one.
Thanks Randy.

Dave and I were just discussing the magnitude of this trip and how few issues we had. We were running 12-15 hours a day, and gensets (alternated between the two) ran constantly when we weren’t on dockside power. We did one oil change on the mains while en route.
Having to rebuild the lower helm (bad seal) was the only mechanical issue we had. Pretty impressive, and a testament to how well this boat has been maintained, and how well Dave prepared it for the journey ahead. It was just a great run.Randy Register - Kingston, TN

Re: Stuart, FL To Racine, WI On A 60MY
I met up with Randy when the boat was in Stuart. The boat is mint and as close to a new 30 yo boat as you could get. Dave got himself a real beaut.

Re: Stuart, FL To Racine, WI On A 60MY
It was a pretty drive up from Racine. Robby just picked me up where I dropped the rental. I haven’t looked at the charts for the northern route, but I’m thinking that would be our best bet on a number of fronts. Wisconsin is way better than Michigan with all the CHINA-19 crap.
Besides, it would be nice to see Willy and Pat again, and I’m sure Dave and Trina are missing me already.Randy Register - Kingston, TN

Re: Stuart, FL To Racine, WI On A 60MY
Just finished some of Brenda’s fine cooking. I think we’ll shoot for Frankfort tomorrow. If the situation calls for it, we’ll call it a day at Charlevoix. I don’t see much going across the top, so we’ll probably cross over to Manitowoc, then Racine, and then down to Sunset Bay again.
I’ll stop talking about this trip on this thread and start another one. Gotta come up with something catchy.Randy Register - Kingston, TN

Re: Stuart, FL To Racine, WI On A 60MY
Thanks, Sky. We’ll head out at first light and see how things play out. I figure we’ll have decent protection from those south winds tomorrow. I’m guessing we’ll call it a short day in Charlevoix, but if the boat and R&B are still happy, we’ll keep on chugging to Frankfort.
