...at least in terms of fun and recreation.
We got home from the February Panama cruise and Florida visit and the world STOPPED. So, instead of stopping with it, we sold our house and purchased a condo in our center of recreation...Cheboygan, MI.
AND IT'S ON THE WATER!!!!
With dockage for the boat.
We have direct access to Lake Huron to the east (one draw bridge to pass) and Michigan's Inland Waterway including Mullet and Burt Lakes to the west via the Cheboygan lock.
We're (me) excited to the access we'll have to boating and camping in northern Michigan and the UP. It's a new chapter with lots to explore.
We've only spent a few days there so far but have been entertained by the passing boat traffic on the river.
The Cheboygan lock is just beyond the bend in the river and the boat traffic backed up a little one day.
Most would be downsizing when moving from a house to a condo. That's not the case for us. The condo is actually a little larger than the house. What is missing is the storage, aka, basement/barn.
Well, that was easy enough to get around. There is such a thing as a "barnominium". I'm having my storage issue solved with one of these.
It's big enough to store everything I own...even the Sea Ray if I ever decide to put it away for an extended period. I own the building and the site is a condo type arrangement. It eliminates the need to purchase real estate.
So we're moving lock, stock and barrel in a couple days and will begin the life after SE Michigan. I'm hoping to still get an opportunity to sneak in a couple fishing outings between the move in activities before the fall weather closes in.
Time will tell if I get to around to actually have a little fun this year.
Stay tuned.
