Good morning from the Washington Channel!
That was an amazing trip. Was awesome to spend time in Michigan's UP again. I need to do that more often.
It's always nice to be home, but lots of unpacking and organizing to do today. Since we appear to have a midday break in the storms, I'm also going to go hunting for pawpaws.

We decided to splurge for a hotel for two nights in Marquette. As a liveaboard boater, this feels like stopping in a marina when you're cruising. Maybe the road trip equivalents of cruising are:
**Driving Vs Boating**
boondocking = anchoring out
camping = mooring ball
hotel = marina
Boaters, what do you think?

A neighbor who still won't fess up filed my dock box with these little ducks a few months back. I thought it was hilarious, because I've been occasionally hiding a themed duck on all the boats in the marina for holidays.
When Jazzy Lady showed up, I figured I'd give Kelly some ducks, because I know she loves them. She decided to assemble them like a small army, standing watch on the bow 😂🦆🦆🦆🏴☠️

Made it back to DC with almost no traffic! Now Captain Chris and I are heading down to Colton's Point with Lake Effect to get her hauled, bottom painted, and add a windlass and replace the generator. ⚓🛥️🏴☠️🦜

Was finishing filling up my water tanks and realized the view of the monument through the flybridge is pretty cool at night.
Also took a quick spin in the dinghy to get a capture of the channel more that the winds calmed down.

Hey #dmv #tornado watch until 9pm!
Not gonna lie ... if there is something somewhat scary about #liveaboard life, tornadoes are it! Time to batten down the hatches!
