We went north for a week-end vacation last week-end. We (my wife and I) drove the VW camper van so we could possibly sleep in it and get some use out of it. First we visited my twin sister Kay who lives in Gaylord. We went to a nice restaurant there and then saw Kay's place for the first time. It is a very cute and comfortable place built as a separate structure from her daughter's house. It would be nice for any single retiree. She has it decorated very well. After our visit we headed out to Crystal Lake. Shortly after we turned on our headlights, we discovered the van was not producing enough electricity to keep us on the road.
A wonderful adventure ensued in which we met some very nice and helpful people, stayed at a motel that was as bad as they get while still being acceptable and eventually got the alternator replaced. We were late by about a half a day and that was remarkable. Brooke's brother Matt came and picked her up, as we didn't know how long things would take and everyone at the lake were antsy to go sailing and the sail was in the camper van.
Eventually we all assembled at the lake. The cabins were great, the sailing was great and we had a nice time. Gabe was there and really enjoyed the family experience. The next-door-neighbor, was a sailor. He identified my boat as a Chrysler manufactured boat. I always had wanted to ID the boat because it has no numbers or writing on it. I've since looked it up and it is a c-15 Man-o-war. There is a lot of great information on it on the web. I'm glad the boat worked out so well. We did manage to tip it over but no harm was done and nothing lost but a little pride.
