Re: Camping in Grand Portage, MN
When I visit the island and spend the first night at G.P. I sleep (on the boat) right in the marina parking lot. How deep is the boat launch slip? Would it launch a full keel sailboat or should I bring the boat with the centerboard? I just bought a second boat so I have the choice of a 26ft centerb...

Re: Great Lakes surface temps at all time high.
If the temperature is 68 degrees while I am hanging out at Moskey, I will for surly be doing some laps I have been in a polar plunge on Jan. 1st on 4 of the 5 great lakes so you can bet I will be taking a dip no matter what the temp. The only draw back to being a polar bear is their moto "You ...
