Cheers with Good Friends

CHEERS… Here’s to Here & Here’s to There.

Whenever we meet up with boaters from our homeport of Charlevoix, Michigan, we have a special toast, and it’s always the same. The HERE is always where we currently are and the THERE is always where we love to be and it’s always the same… Charlevoix. We’ve been meeting up with Hal and Marianne (above) in Florida for the last few years. (Hal is our harbormaster in Charlevoix, Michigan and they are both dear friends.)  This year they decided to try the Cape Coral area so it worked perfectly with our schedule.

Before we left home, we were in touch with friends Bill and Mary (below – also from Charlevoix), and we weren’t surprised that they would be in the Naples area during the week we planned at Moss Marine for the Ranger Tugs Rendezvous. We thought it would be fun to get a group from Charlevoix together to catch up far from home.

First drinks on the boat and dinner at Bonita Bills after.

Okay, Hal is completely missing everyone kissing his wife. It was so good to see all of these guys that hugs and kisses were numerous.
