 Until next time, fair winds and following sea-son's greetings! 🚢✨🎄🌊One crucial lesson I’ve always emphasized to my students in the daunting task of writing is quite simple: Just Get Started! The beauty lies in taking that initial step, knowing you can refine and polish your work later on. Despite the plethora of helpful tools available today, crafting engaging social media and blog posts still seems to stretch the clock. ARGH! Perhaps it’s because I’m thoroughly engrossed in learning to wield these tools like Canva, Weebly and Meta Business Suite. Taming these tools presents its challenges, yet I find immense joy in conquering their uphill learning curves, especially when the edits are saved and successful. Nevertheless, I welcome this learning process with open arms, relishing every bit of growth, even in these retired years, dedicated to continuous learning. It’s a pity I’m no longer in the classroom, sharing these discoveries with my kiddos! In fact, the kiddos could probably coach with a few beneficial tips. My motto, “Kids Achieving Greatness, ‘echoes in my mind, wishing I could impart all that I’ve learned and overcome on my journey toward greatness, wherever that may lead. Truth be told, it’s not all smooth sailing. Let me be vulnerable with you: I’m far from perfect. Surprised! (I know, me too.) I grapple with uncertainty about t the best content, the most captivating images, and the most effective strategies. The trickiest part is mastering those pesky hashtags and @ symbols for social media. But, in this vulnerability, there’s strength. I’ve learned that it’s okay not to have it all figured out. What truly matters is the relentless pursuit of improvement. I Never Give Up, (right kiddos), and I find joy in the journey, regardless of the storms I encounter along the way. So, I extend heartfelt thanks for joining me on this escapade. As we prepare for the festive season and strive to craft the most dazzling Christmas, post, your patience and encouragement amidst this learning curve are gifts as precious as every “ho-ho-ho.” We shall sail forth, brimming with cheer, embracing our vulnerability, and reveling in the fact that it’s the persistence and the joy we find in the learning process that truly count. Until next time, fair winds and following sea-son's greetings! 🚢✨🎄🌊

Did you ever wonder how these incredible wonders came to be? The Great Lakes were formed by melting glaciers over 10,000 years ago. These freshwater giants, Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario, are like nature's grand masterpiece, a gift from the Ice Age.
What makes the Great Lakes truly exceptional is that they hold the title of the largest body of freshwater on Earth! These interconnected lakes, surrounded by stunning landscapes, are home to unique ecosystems, wildlife, and plants that can't be found anywhere else. They are a true natural wonder, providing a home to fish, birds, and lush sand dunes. But these lakes are more than just beautiful; they're a precious resource. The Great Lakes supply clean and fresh drinking water to millions of people, support recreation like swimming and boating, facilitate transportation and industry, and are a vital ecosystem for countless species. It's crucial that we take care of these treasures. Conservation and sustainable practices are the key to preserving this incredible body of water for generations to come. Let's do our part to protect and support the Great Lakes, ensuring they remain a source of wonder and life for all of us.

Today I take time out to express our heartfelt appreciation to the winter sanctuary of Ahh! Venture Cruise and the place of our summer launch pad. I'm talking about ME Yacht Restoration, a place that is truly above and beyond in the category of marine vessel care for winter and summer needs. It's not just about boats; it's about the people, the service, and the atmosphere that make it a top-notch destination for boaters from all over the Great Lakes. From the moment we step inside the storage facility, we're greeted by the luxury of heated floors, motion sensor lighting and 24/7 access that is a testament to the thoughtfulness behind the design. The safety of floating docks for summer are not only convenient, they provide safety for easy on and off to family, friends, and guests. The summer of 2023 has been filled with major landscaping including preparation for growth on the water's side along with trees, shrubs, flowers, fencing and lighting, making the summer views nothing short of spectacular for a marina.
Perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of ME Yacht Restoration is their unwavering commitment to customer care and management's care of their staff. Whether it's answering questions, providing advice, or assisting with boat related matters, they're experts who truly care about their customers. Just take a look at the photos above and you will not only see modern day methods of hauling out extremely large boats, but it's done by remote control trailers managed by confident and capable young workers balancing on One Wheels as they haul. Come on Captain Cal...let's keep up with these youngsters and try the One Wheels ourselves. Ouch!!! ME Yacht Restoration is more than a facility; it's a family, a haven, and a true gem of the Great Lakes. We're honored to call it home, and we know that boaters from all over share in our appreciation for this five-star destination. Until next time, fair winds , following seas and heartfelt gratitude! 🚢🌟🌿
It all starts with the boat being pulled out of the water. There's an odd sort of tug-of-war happening as the boat seems to resist leaving its aquatic playground. It's as if it's saying, "Are you sure about this? Can't we just stay and brave the elements together?" Now, as the boat is safely stowed away, we can't help but think of Elsa from "Frozen" singing her famous line, "Let it go!" But in our case, it's more like, "Let the boat go!" Back inside, the fire is indeed delightful. It's the warm haven that beckons to us as we prepare our boat for its winter slumber. It's as if the fireplace knows just how to console us, assuring us that we'll make it through the winter just fine. So as we bid our boat farewell for the winter, let's remember that even in the most comically sad moments, there's a charm to be found. The boat will patiently wait for the warmer days, and we can cozy up to that delightful fire and start planning all the adventures to come next season. Don't forget to book your cruise. ahhventurecruise.com Until next time, fair winds and cozy firesides! 🔥🚢❄️ |
