GL: Getting Ready - Bought the boat!

[Fred Ferber]

Greetings,
  Well, we took the plunge and purchased a Nordic Tug 32 for the trip.  After a 31 hour 285 nm non-stop shake down cruise from Traverse City MI to Winthrop Harbor (Northpoint) IL, including some nasty 6 foot rollers southbound down the middle of Lake Michigan I almost feel like I've started but it will have to wait another year or two before the LADY M and I will be really ready! 
  Best To All,
  Fred & Marilyn Ferber
