Hi all, I are waiting to hear from our bank for a loan to buy a business in northern Michigan. This new buisness (if we buy it) is facing a marina on Lake Huron so my boat will be 100 yards from my office. How cool is that. Here is a picture from my office. Cheers.

That would be a smokin' location for your office. Set up the wireless to the boat and you could be very happy.

Hope it goes through for you.

There's nothing like it! (When I was working)...I would break for lunch, make a sandwich, walk outside to the boat and take a lunch cruise down past the Mystic Seaport... and then go back to work. Now I do the same thing, except for the "work" part.

The most interesting part of that photo is the date! January 23rd and not a single snowflake in Michigan.

NICE VIEW!...All I see is the 3 sides of my gray cube. Dilbert is alive and well here.

If I had an office that close to my boat I wouldn't have an office very long....and then come the attorneys, the bankruptcy courts, the layoffs and the ruined credit. I'd get a lot of sailing in though.....I currently am 15 feet from the closest window - probably a good thing for me.

I once had an office that overlooked a lovely golf course. Fortunately for me, my boss loved golf more than I.

How Cool Dennis!
I'm not quite as lucky, but close. I'm about a mile from my boat here in Daytona and like to get down 2 or 3 times a week, doing small projects or just to lay back, listen to the gulls, wind, halyards and close my eyes for 10 or 15 minutes. Why did I wait so long to buy this boat?

Dennis,

Looks very familiar. Is that the St Ignous Marina? Hope you are able to swing the business. John Vining and I could join you for a cruise from there.

Hi Al, it is the Tawas City Condo Marina. I have never heard of this, but you buy the slip just like a condo. In two minutes from the slip I can be sailing on lake Huron. Cheers.

It's called a "dockominium". (My work here is done.)

Aaaaaahhhhhhh, sooooooo, it's not northern Michigan. It's northern lower Michigan. I need to check a map to see if you would be in reasonable sailing distance of the straights.

Hi Al, Tawas City is directly across from the tip of the Thumb. It looks like a great sail the anywhere on Huron. Maybe a day (24 hours) from the Big Mac. Cheers.
