    Hey dere from da U.P.

    We have fished out of Fairport and Manistique when things got pretty ugly. None of the Great Lakes are a cakewalk. Thanks for posting the great pics, Wayfarer.

    Yeah, current and wind can stack things up there. Same thing at the tip of the Keweenaw which is why most folks go through Portage Entry.

    Yeah, twice I could have used a full shoulder rig when the waves were on my beam and I was too stubborn to tack into them.

    Hey Bill. You can always shoot up to Lac LaBelle and then to Big Bay. Or scoot to Huron Bay and slip around the corner when the weather settles. But, yes, the lake can kick up quick. I have had our Rossi and our Dory out in some awful stuff. I never felt in danger in the 246 but the ride beat me...

    Yes, the wife and I snowshoe through the woods behind our house all winter. Food? Home-made pasties with ketchup. :)

    Yep, I'm not a snomo fan. (But they are good for our economy.)

    Too much snow here for ice boats, Old Dan. I did race DNs when I lived in the lower part of the state back in the '60s. It was great fun but hard on the hands to hold sheetline and tiller steer. ;)

    374" of snow last year, Ken. Yeah...we know a little bit about lake effect here on the Keweenaw peninsula. Superior can whip up deadly but, thankfully, the coasts are riddled with safe harbors. Cheers, Dave

    Hey dere from da U.P.

    We have a camp on Lac LaBelle and slip our boats there. Small world.

    Hey. I am new to the forum here. My wife and I have a Rosborough 245 and a C-Dory 22 Cruiser. We part the waters of Lake Superior on a regular basis. We even pull a fish or two in the process. I look forward to interacting here. Cheers, Dave
