We are Kenny and Ginny. We call Northeast Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula home during the summer months. Together, we enjoy recreational boating on the Oconto River and the Bay of Green Bay and camping in the cooler northern states. When the boating season is over, we become snowbirds and head south for the winter with our luxury DRV Moble Suites 5th-wheel trailer that we call Château de Sallé.

I bought the Château de Sallé in July 2018 with my late wife Nancy after our Monaco Windsor motorhome, OWFISH, was totaled in an accident.

USS Freedom

We watched the USS Freedom leave the docks for the first time today starting it's sea trials. The USS Freedom (LCS-1) is the first Navy ship of it's kind. A LCS is a Littoral Combat Ship. Connect HERE to learn more. The USS Freedom was first scheduled to leave around 5:30 CDT this morning but it wasn't until 2:00 this afternoon until the tugs finely pulled it away from the docks. The USS Freedom is 329 feet long, 43 feet wide, draws 12.8 feet of water, has the same engines as the DC-10 airliner and will go from 0 to 40 knots in 90 seconds.
