Ya up in Duluth don't cha know! On those cold mornings, looking across the big lake it looks like a frozen abyss.
When the water isn't hard, this is my weapon of choice

The photo is with Lake Erie in the background, I paddle the most on Lake Huron.
@connyro Nice photo of the West Vista. I’ll send you my number next year, I’ll have a spare beer for you at my truck. I should have this year, but I didn’t want you to think I was looking for a tour guide.

Sounds good Fish! I'll be there next year and I would gladly drink your beer. That's pretty thoughtful but I wouldn't mind giving a tour for future reference...

Ah, the Catalina 18. Is there still a SJ24 fleet up there?
And what about Welch Belch, does that still happen down below?

Yes, well a Capri 18, but basically it's a Catalina. A little tank that sails well and it's stiff for is size.
The J24 fleet is still partying hard!
Welch Belch? Ya got me there, fill me in.

Never been down there. I do sometimes go to Tunes and Turns on Thursdays at the best little bar with a ski hill Mont du Lac. I think it's still a $14 lift ticket, cheap beer and wings and live music. The local lift served telemark thing.
