Voyager joint venture primarily consists of a 50% interest in Voyager RV Resort and 33% interest in the utility plant servicing the Property.
On March 29, 2018, the Crosswinds joint venture repaid a a short-term loan to us in the amount of $13.8 million. We provided the loan to Crosswinds in conjunction with the formation of the joint venture in June 2017.

We received approximately $0.5 million and $1.1 million in distributions from these joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. None of the distributions made to us exceeded our basis in joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Approximately $0.2 million of the distributions made to us exceeded our basis in joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and as such were recorded as income from unconsolidated joint ventures.
