Ice boating on the morning agenda but…

…a few minutes before departure for Pewaukee, a call from Bri with the news that Ellie and Becca had been throwing up all night. With sailing plans scuttled, the Whitewater contingent decided, in keeping with the iceboat theme, and go pick up #165 from the bodyshop where it had been repainted. The route included a swing through Oconomowoc to drop off hand sewn ornaments Sue had despaired of completing in time but had actually finished. Then, as we neared O’woc we got a call telling us that Ellie, with her dad, had recently taken an ambulance to the hospital.

Soon after getting up and out of bed Ellie had passed out. Actually, she and her dad were standing side-by-side, brushing teeth, when she keeled over. Dehydration was the cause, and she is fine now. Becca’s all better too.

The timing was right, and we were able to bring Bri’s truck with us to the hospital so that he and Ellie might have a way home. And not long after we arrived Ellie was discharged.

After that we drove in to the north-west part of Milwaukee and loaded the boat onto the newly renovated trailer.

Not quite the day planned, but we did make it home in time for (take-out) dinner.
