[alberg30] Lake Superior

Hi, Brian!
I don't know about the Soo and Thunder Bay but I'd be willing to bet they have
their act together and keep the water clean.  Certainly here we place a premium
on keeping the water pristine--it's too important!

Interested to know where and for how long you have cruised Superior.

My grandfather went to Otter Head from Lake Simcoe in a 13' boat and 3.5
Johnson motor in 1929.  The next year he got a 30-foot cruiser and went there
every summer--quite an undertaking when he had to arrange in the winter to have
fuel delivered to the points where rail and lakeshore converged--no marinas.  I
have his Great Lakes Pilot, with all his notations.

I have not ventured forth yet, but hope to duplicate some of his voyages.  All
experience and advice welcome!
