Oconto Yacht Club

We've been here at the yacht club for a month now and everything is working out fine for us. We are parked in the back next to a tree line where we get an afternoon shade. We are hooked up to 30 amp power through a marine outlet and near-by water. Our gray water (shower/sink) drains into the lagoon, the same as the boats do, and for our black water (sewage), I empty it once a week into my blue port-a-tank and pull it to the boat pump-out.

Politics?

We were told yesterday that the yacht club had been informed by the city that we couldn't "camp" here at the yacht club. Nested among the boats, in and out of the water, in a park like setting, on private property zoned for parks and recreation, I can't understand how we could be bothering anyone. My only guess is someone in this quaint little town must be jealous or upset because they are loosing money or something because we are "camped" here. The club told us that they will address the situation with the city.

Spring Snow

We woke up this morning with snow covering everything. Barbie questions why we left the warm southern states for this. "It's all about me being able to work on the boat this time of the year Barb."

Oconto, WI

We are currently parked at the Oconto Yacht Club in Oconto, WI. The idea of staying here at the yacht club for the summer was a great idea, but may not be very feasible. The next few days will tell. We still have our seasonal space reserved at Holtwood Campground here in Oconto.

I've already started making contacts with local people to help us with our renovation project on our boat, the Shangri-La.

Paw Paw, IL

We had a nice visit in Moberly, MO the last couple of days. This morning started out great getting on the road by 8:30. Stopped in Minonk, IL for a late lunch and took on 62 gallons of diesel costing $190.87. We've stopped for the night in Paw Paw, IL to get some rest after driving 324 miles today. One more day on the road and we'll reach our summer destination in Oconto, WI.
