I just talked with my DF ( 87 1/2 years old ), and he and my sister are just coming down the St.Clair River after a two-week trip on the Great Lakes in his 42-foot cruiser. He's so happy. They just passed under the Port Huron Bridge a couple of hours ago, and he said that it's just beautiful. I'm so grateful that my sister is willing and able to go on the trip and learn how to run that behemoth. They've done very well and made it up all the way to here: North Channel on Lake Huron. www.sailnet.com/forums/lake-huron/49173-lake-huron-marvelous-north-channel.htmlOur family does love to boat. I'm just glad that they're home  |

Oh, wow. So cool. Lake Huron is beautiful! Did they go to Killarney? My parents have always wanted to go, but have just a little bow rider at their cottage on south Georgian Bay, definitely not the type of boat to take that trip in. They're retired now, maybe they'll break down and rent a boat with a cabin and go.

I'm not sure, but I'll ask him if when I see him. He's really a remarkable guy, and looks about 70 y.o. He swims and walks and lifts free weights each and every day. He's the most positive person I know. He put 42 years into a difficult school system, and never moved out to the easier ones. He will stand on his viewpoint, elucidate to anyone who wants to know, and is reasonable in discussions, but he wont' back down. He's my Dad !
