Catawba Island, Ohio

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO SHERRI & MARK!



The arrival of Barb, John
Cathy & Jim



The boys checking out the engine
While having breakfast on our boat after a late evening the night before, we received a call from John and Barb Flint and Jim and Cathy Condon who were about to set off on two separate road trips. The first part they were going to travel together. The Flints would travel in their recently acquired RV and Jim in his vintage 1971 Corvette with trailer. There planned destination was going to take them close to this port so a short detour was planned and to the delight of all they showed up five hours later. It was great to see everyone again and rehash all the ports we did together. I am sure those who follow our blog have recognized their names and remember the amount of time spent together! Barb and John will stay the night at the marina in their RV and Jim and Cathy have a room in the local motel close by.



We went to a great Mexican Restaurant for dinner before calling it a night. Said our good byes to Jim and Cathy before they drove to their motel and the rest of us returned to the marina.

Tomorrow we will have breakfast with Rose and Jerry at the local breakfast hot spot. John and Barb will be leaving in their RV to rejoin Cathy and Jim to continue their road trip. In the future we look forward to catching up with them and continuing the adventure together.

A few more friends of Rose and Jerry will show up at the marina tomorrow ——–so, it sounds like another fun filled day!

Cathy – Barb – Rose – Jerry

N-E-Port Marina

Catawba Island, Ohio
Leaving our slip in Vermilion



Homes along the Vermiliion River

We purposely did a late start and had a short crossing of 27 miles which made for a pleasant start for a long weekend with friends. We turned into the last channel before entering our slip when Jerry and Rose pulled up in their car. We didn’t take time to connect water or electric just lash down the boat hop in their car and head for the first restaurant “watering hole “down the highway. It’s always great to see old friends.


Arriving at the entrance into
Catawba Island

 

Heading to our slip at
N-E Port Marina
Later in the afternoon some of Rose and Jerry’s boating friends started showing up. Two picnic tables and an assortment of lawn chairs replaced two parking spaces and the evening social hour began. There were lots of questions about our loop adventure and many comments remembering when we were here at the beginning of our loop adventure in August 2008. Tomorrow a few more people we know will show up for the weekend………let the fun begin!

For the first couple of days at Fox Chapel Marina, we hibernated on the boat.  We were just happy to have plenty of power to run the air conditioners.  Shortly after we arrived we met Rich, a member of MTOA-a boating club- who had been anti…
