The family visited our (Wing) family hometown (Kewaunee, WI) during the July 4th holiday. Anders and Anna flew/drove from San Francisco, While Mary, Geneva, Justin, and INGA drove from Minneapolis. They met Chuck, who sailed across Lake Michigan from Traverse City, MI. This is the Mighty Quinn first arriving at Kewaunee.

We spent some time on the beach where Chuck used to play as a child. The lake is wonderful and Inga had no problem getting right in. However, her favorite pass time is wrestling with Mom and Grandpa while Justin studies.
MOMONLOG.
Mary is having a good time!

While we were playing, Anders and Anna went sailing on the Mighty Quinn in Lake Michigan. Winds were pretty good and they had a great time. Here they are coming back Flying into port!

INGA has a great time almost anywhere! This picture is not in Keewaunee, but it is way too cool and it includes Fluffy!
We walked around the house Chuck spent a lot of his youth in. This is a view from the property at the lighthouse and pier coming into Kewaunee. Please note that Anders was not in the view when Chuck was living here.
We visited the family grave site, which was a bit hard to find after 20 years... Bertha Rose Wing waited for Geneva to be born and died shortly thereafter. Mary and Chuck treasure their time with Grandma Wing.

What is Anders doing? NO ANDERS! It is not a good idea to take a souvenir from here!
Inga Wing meets the Wing Family.......

Or, she is surprised how warm the stone feels in the sun!
We sailed north to Algoma, WI for an outing. Great little town with a lot to see!
I don't know why, but Anna was a bit suspicious of what was in the glass..... Just because I had just cleaned the bilge.....
Never Fear! Our lookouts are keeping a constant eye out for sea monsters, sharks and whatever their toes are doing!
After a long day on the sea and in the sun, Mom is beginning to need some support.
Here is looking back at you kid!
