Beautiful sail boat. You did good at the wheel. Blessings
Hello Betty Jo, it was her first time ever on a sail boat. Such a special time. Thank you for joining us. Stan and Rhonda❤️
Stan, you said that with such a straight face. Thanks for the chuckle!
Hi Mark, which part?
Awesome video.
Congrats on 10k.
Hey Mark, thank you for joining us. Stan and Rhonda❤️
The sailing looked like a lot of fun. Glad you had good weather.
Hello Kurt, it was such a blessing! Thank you for joining us. The weather was amazing. It stormed the following day. Stan and Rhonda❤️
What an adventure. Congratulations on 10K.
Hello Leslie, thank you for joining us. Thank you! Stan and Rhonda❤️
Absolutely! Years ago I could do many things in concert with each other. Anymore issues come up because of that.
Embrace reality!
Hey Matt, yes sir! That is definitely a difficult one for me. We are not as you as we used to be. I always said age is just a number how ever the brain doesn’t seem to believe that! Thank you for joining us we appreciate your continued support. Stan and Rhonda
We love sleeping bear dunes and platte river is such a low key campground
Plate River Campground was such a beautiful place. So serene! We will show a little more of it next video 👏 Thank you for sharing! Rhonda and Stan
Looks like an awesome trip! Kinda seems peaceful! Reminded me so much of my childhood in MI. Thanks for sharing your adventures yet again!! 👏🏻😊💖
Hello Dan and Lyndi, if it brought back childhood memories then we have done our job! Thank you guys for joking us every week we appreciate you guys very much. Much love and blessings, Stan and Rhonda❤️
What a fun adventure! Great job Rhonda! We have been there at the annual Cherry Festival and saw the Blue Angels perform. Sleeping Bear Dunes is very pretty. Great video.
Thank you, Karla! We didn’t even know about the Cherry or Tulip festivals! What a fun place! We would love to go back 👏 We enjoyed a bike ride on Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail which we will highlight in the next video. We rode to Glen Arbor 😍 We didn’t attempt the sand dune hike 😂😅
Wow! What a epic sailing trip. I have lived in Michigan my whole life. My twin Brother is retired and lives on Long lake in TC. Luv, luv, luv that area….except for winter time! Thanks for sharing your trip.
Hi Tim, thank you for joining us. We love Michigan! Many folks have told us, not in the winter! Lol We lived in snow for 30 years never going back. Stan and Rhonda
Great video! Michigan is beautiful. If you are ever back in the area you should sail/boat on the big lake( superior). Much different experience. Thank you!
Hi Stuward, not to give it away. We take a tour boat on Lake Superior. You are very right! You get a much bigger feeling your in the ocean. We have two more videos until we head to the Upper Peninsula. Michigan has truly been an incredible adventure. Thank you for joining us we appreciate your continued support. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda❤️
Hehehe My Solitude doesn’t have that feature about Black tank to Gray tank. And I have made that mistake before, Just once. I have the same water meter also. NOW I do NOT leave when cleaning the BLACK tank. I have a chair and sit and watch. My accident happened when I started talking to somebody and then my wife was yelling the toilet is overflowing. Nice video. So now you are a Captain. You go Girl.
Hi Tim, yes Captain Rhonda made me tell the world so I would never do it again. I’m going find me a chair like yours. All the best! Stan and Rhonda❤️
Tomatoes! Can fry or wait and they will turn red. Great fried
Hi Teresa, thank you for joining us! We thought they were something else. Thank you! Stan and Rhonda❤️
Did you find the waterfalls? Michigan is a great state and if you ever get up there in the fall it’s awesome and something you remember for years. Yes skin so soft we’re screwed on the flies and mosquitoes 🦟. The little roadside stands are great. The sailboat ride looks very relaxing and enjoyable. You pick the right day to go. Thanks From Wisconsin
Hi Bob and Cathy, we were in the Upper Peninsula when the leaves were turning. It was beautiful and your right, a time to remember. We saw lots of waterfalls. Stay tuned we have so much more to share. Thank you for joining us and your faithful support. Stan and Rhonda❤️
Great video. Congratulations on 10k. I suggest using Deep Woods Off for the black flies and my wife says Avon's Skin So Soft lotion will keep the mosquitoes away.
Hi John! Thank you so much! We are amazed we have reached that milestone 👏 Thank you for being a part of our journey! We agree with the Avon Skin So Soft! Love that stuff and we will definitely look into the off! Blessings, Rhonda and Stan yes
My wife and I love watching your videos. We live in Michigan and we are glad you enjoyed your visit. Question. Where did you live before Arizona. Thanks Phil from Detroit. 😊
Hi Phil, we lived in a mountain community called Big Bear Lake. California. It was an island in the sky at 7,000 feet. Thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda
Wow, that’s a beautiful boat! It looked like you were going pretty fast! Were you in TC in the summer? I was surprised you were wearing shorts and a short sleeve T shirt. Michigan peaches are great! The Sentinel Farm looks like a great place to visit. I will need to ask my brother about it. He lives in TC.😊
Hi Claudia, we were there on September 5th. The next day it stormed! Thank you for joining us. Stan and Rhonda❤️
Love your videos. We were in Traverse City this past summer. Where did you stay while in TC?
We have a Reflection 337RLS that we love. Did the factory tour in Middlebury in 2019 and ended up buying one the next day. Absolutely love it.
Hello Stephen and
Kerri, thank you for joining us on our adventures. We stayed in Sleeping Bear Dune National Lakeshore and stayed at the Platte River Campground and drove to TC. We are thinking about getting a GD 5th wheel. We loved that are very much. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda❤
Obligatory comment to drive UA-cam algorithms. (And glad you're enjoying my state!)
😂 Our only complaint is we didn’t get to see you guys 🥲
Heeling is fun. Do you know the length of the sailboat? Looked like a 40 footer?
It was a 36 footer. Really enjoyed it!
Well, that sailing sure looked fun! Those fresh produce stands are always terrific and have some of the best locally-grown fruits and veggies, not to mention jellies and jams! Yum! 😊
Stan, I won't scold you on leaving the black-water tank flush semi attended. We're sure you probably got an earful from Captain Rhonda! 😬🫣 I'm really leery of doing that. I got distracted while flushing the tank one day and forgot to close the valve. 😒🙄 Yes, I noticed it the next afternoon and closed it, but the dreaded "Poo Pyramid" had started forming. Had to clean out with the "Magic Wand" but I was able to get things going again quickly. Good grief!
Now, it you really want to scrub it out, get a small bag of ice, put some in the tank (just a few handfuls), put water in the tank, tow to your next destination. Then dump the tank. Should be nice and clean!
We're looking forward to the next video!
Safe travels, y'all!
Bob and Dottie
Hi Bob and Dottie, I definitely don’t want to do that again! It’s always worked great I just can’t be distracted when I’m in dump mode. We felt we should share our mistakes so people can learn from us. Thank you for sharing your mishap. Thank you for joining us and your continued support. Stan and Rhonda❤️
