It's Loop Eve. We are heading out at the crap of dawn tomorrow. We sold our car today, and before that we provisioned the heck out of the galley. We can go without a lot of things, but we will not be without Diet Dr. Pepper or coffee for Owen. We wanted our last day … Continue reading Carpe Diem: We Are Not Guaranteed a Donut Sundae

Chicago Preview
Last night, we went to Chicago for dinner and an architecture tour. We wanted to check out the river before we head down there next week (!) with the boat. This time, there was comedic narration. We expect nothing less next week. $14 mojito. Smh.
Coast Guard, Open House, and the Toilet
It was a busy day in the Port Washington Marina. This morning, the Coast Guard Auxiliary did free inspections for anyone who was interested. They checked for fire extinguishers, proper safety equipment, lighting, and paperwork. It only took a short time, but the guy who did it was super friendly and just wanted to make … Continue reading Coast Guard, Open House, and the Toilet
Milwaukee to Port Washington: Home Sweet Home
The day began with joyous news: our air conditioning was working and ready to go. A light shown down from heaven, angels sang, and there was a parade through town. Wait. The parade was the day before for the NBA Champion Milwaukee Bucks. But the other stuff really happened. Not really. We were eager to … Continue reading Milwaukee to Port Washington: Home Sweet Home
Milwaukee: We May Be Here Forever

The wind changed direction, and we were rocking and rolling all night long. You'll be happy to know we survived. Today brought another day of work for … Continue reading Milwaukee: We May Be Here Forever
Milwaukee: Bucks Championship!
The Hoan Bridge at Sunrise. Our half-day air conditioner installation turned into a longer project than expected. The worker removed our compressor (with difficulties) and the fan. Owen worked in his office, and I went for a walk to get out of everyone's way. Milwaukee really is a beautiful city. From our spot at the … Continue reading Milwaukee: Bucks Championship!
Milwaukee: A New Air Conditioner
We're not officially on the Loop yet, but we're getting ready for it. Today, we headed down to Milwaukee to have one of our air conditioners replaced. We are definitely on boat time here: this was 8 months in the making. We left on a picture perfect afternoon for the short cruise from Port Washington … Continue reading Milwaukee: A New Air Conditioner
Practicalities
Going down the Loop checklist. Today's item: switch cell phone providers. No one provider is good at providing service for the entirety of our trip, so Owen is staying on T-Mobile and I'm switching to Verizon. This will hopefully result in Owen being able to work no matter where in the Loop we are. For … Continue reading Practicalities
