As a kid, I spent summers at my Aunt's on Lake Charlevoix and learned to
sail on a Sailfish (anybody remember those?) That was big water for a 'Fish
when you're 12! Lunch lashed to mast and off for the day.
I left Michigan before I graduated to "big" boats and got to experience the
Lakes by sail, but I well remember riding with my Dad in the car and racing
for the ferry in St Ignace. No bridge then!
To all of you who have no idea what we're talking about, apologies for
clogging you email and...
Music please:
DON'T GO UP THERE STAY WHERE YOU'RE AT
DON'T GO UP THERE YOU WON'T COME BACK...
