IT’S SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!!!!!

It was a lazy morning but the boys came to pick us up.  While at the boat, Jim asked Kirk to check something out in the engine room.  LOl!!!! It took all 5 of the guys to get involved………….


All is good below!!!!

Back to the Hoffarth home waiting for the big game to begin.  Our very own Sunday Sexy Salmon Shirt Super Bowl guys….  LOL!!!


So much food and our team won.  I even brought home $50 from one of the boards.  But it really is time to say good bye to our friends.  Jim and I leave Tarpon Point Marina in the morning and most of the Minnesota gang fly home to the tundra.  

Thank you our TI B Dock friends for so much fun, laughs, and many, many memories.

Tuesday, October 12, 2021 (Keokuk, IA -Rockport, IL) Good morning from Keokuk, IA. The sun is coming up and going to shine all day. Here is a better picture of the Yacht Club and I couldn’t resist the baby tug.   Right out of Keokuk is Lock and Dam 19 which was the most interesting and deepest lock so far.  As we approached the Lock and Dam there was a huge brick building standing in the river.  The name of the building was “Keokuk Plant”.  We tried to find historical information about it but came up empty.  However, we took a guess that before the Lock and Dam was built the structure housed an electrical generating plant on the river.  So unusual to see a big building out in the river with no access in or out.  As we look at the lock the gates were very different then we had ever seen.  It looked like a fence that would be similar to what you would see in a back yard.  But you could see through the gate and watch the water rescind or rise. ...

Thursday, October 21, 2021 (Modoc, IL - outside Cairo, IL) We had a fantastic nights sleep last night.  No barge traffic through the lock and dam all night.  We are still boating with the same 3 other boats and know that it will be a long day.  Jim checks the oil most mornings down in the engine room.  If the boat needs more oil all he needs to do is place a hose into the oil container, push a lever for which engine needs oil and turn a pump on!!!!  No muss, no fuss!!! We progressed down river all day with hardly anything to report.  Nothing but barges tied to the side of the water.  However we are seeing more and more dredging equipment.  The trees are green but I am missing my favorite season at home with the fall colors and falling leaves. But….. not missing it so much that I want to go home.  LOL!!! The sandy beaches look so inviting!  However on we go as we are getting closer to our first anchorage.  This basically is finding a...

Welcome aboard “Our Nauti Time”!! Once we decided to tackle part of the Great Loop, we realized that our 26 foot cabin cruiser was certainly too small to live on for several months.  So, the search began!!  Most of you are aware that this is exactly what Jim loves to do…..SHOP and NEGOTIATE.  I was thinking that he would be showing me boats that were about 34 feet.  Yes, I was completely wrong!!!  Next thing I knew we were taking a little road trip to LaCrosse, WI just to look at this beauty.  She is a 43 foot Silverton Yacht that we ended up purchasing in the fall of 2020.  This past spring we drove her to Treasure Island Casino Marina where we spent a great deal of time this summer.  It has been a huge learning experience going from 1 engine to 2 and having a control panel taller than our youngest grandchild.  We were so lucky to have made many wonderful new friends on B Dock and shared unforgettable memories.  It was sad to say goodby...
