The trip actually seems very real now! Paul and friend Tom sailed Restless Wind down to Green Bay from Menominee, MI (the last time she'll actually be a "sailboat" for a LONG time). The mast was pulled (that was stressful) and trestles built to hold the mast. We took a test ride down the Fox River with our son, Eric, and experienced our first lock at DePere. It may be the smallest lock we'll experience and is operated manually. It was good practice and neat to see the mansions along the river from the water side.

not so bad for our first lock, I think. I wonder if all the lines will be as slimy?
nice blog!
Hey Guys, What an adventure already! Am absolutely loving being able to log (no pun intended) on and check out what the trip's been like so far. Sounds exciting, and the pictures are great, too! Anchors away ... Duch
