Vol XXI – #19 – Out on the Red Jacket

A rare opportunity presented itself yesterday when our own Meggen’s father David Watt asked if I wanted a ride on the Red Jacket, a trawler he brought down from the U.P. I’m not going to pass up that opportunity! What a fantastic ride up the North shore to Onominee Beach and back. Calm seas and a beautiful sunset to end… Read more »

Vol XXI – #15 – Out on the Lake

Good day to take the kayaks out with my daughter, even if it was a bit windy. The wind was perfect for the Sunfish, which also went in despite the halyard cleat popping up out of the deck. Doesn’t matter what kind of boat you have, it’s always something. Check out the Glen Arbor Sun (you can find them free… Read more »
