## Resource

Steve Mylrea’s epic 12,000-mile houseboat voyage hit a major snag when four of his six engines failed after battling Lake Huron’s winds — forcing him to briefly sell the Neverlanding for a dollar and joke about faking his own death. Now, he’s trying to resume the trip, but with no clear timeline. Meanwhile, his online meltdown with the Facebook group’s admin, Kurt Rivers, has turned into a full-blown feud — with Mylrea calling Rivers obsessed and Rivers calling Mylrea delusional. The 22,000-member group is split: some idolize him, others are lost in the chaos. Mylrea’s rambling, cryptic posts — including fake names and backward text — have only deepened the mystery. The group is taking a break until August, then pivoting to spotlight other quirky Great Lakes boats under a new name: “Loopy Lakers – Dreams, Courage & Chaos.” Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
