Greetings from Sans Souci! Roberta and I really have only one goal for our cruising this summer: To relax.

July 4th – 9th – Mackinaw City

We arrived back at the boat late afternoon of the 4th.  I think all of us were ready!  Three days cramped in a car was long enough. We were happy to see that the swarms of bugs were gone and very surprised that the marina was filled with a l…

The large Hurtigruten coastal express ships also visit, turning around inside such that…
