Meandering Marquette

Well hi-diddly-ho reader-inos, (Ned Flanders inflection preferred)

After many harrowing days on the Sea of Inland nature we have arrived in Marquette Michigan!!! (EXCITEMENT INTENDED). We are being hosted by good friends and Chequamegon Bay transplants Alison S. and Alan F. Haute dog, they are some cool cats.

So the days really haven't been that harrowing, however it seems upon land fall I have been using that word quite a bit so it just happened to appear up there. After nearly three weeks on the water it seems our metabolisms are kicking in, we put down the calories and no longer scoff at 'just another 15 miles' it just flows. Pretty cool. Makes you think in alternate terms: if there was water everywhere I could just paddle to the Co-Op, I could eat sushi in my boat, etc... I have long been told not to start the stove in the boat though, as the saying goes, you can not have your kayak and heat it too... (Thank you Carl for all those continued years of jokes!!)

While living it up on land for a short while, we will be doing A LOT of walking, hiking, using our feet to write postcards... all those things. (I actually feel as though I sit an inch lower in my boat because my bum has shrunk) We'll be making sure our legs still work and do not disappear- so far so good. The walkable nature of this town has treated us well.

Also we are fixing to spread the word about Lake Superior Day (this Sunday, SUNday, SUNDAY) and find an event, or create our own to enjoy, benefit and appreciate that admirable azure agua.

Side bar experiences will be consuming swank delicacies made in a real kitchen with fresh greens- kale, chard etc. Mowing down on some blue berries, walking some additional mileage, cleaning some gear, and doing some boat repair... YEE HOWDY!!

Hope all is well and wondrous in you realm of the world and we'll be updating this to current status throughout the weekend....
