[Rhodes22-list] August, 2006 High Adventure Kayaking Trip To The Apostle Islands

Wed Oct 7 17:38:52 EDT 2020

Roger, thanks for sharing the PDF of your 2006 adventure in the Apostle
Islands.  When I was doing a brief review of Peter's new draft of the
website last week, I stumbled on the account of your trip from
Charlevoix to Beaver Island and Garden Island in Northern Michigan.  That
is quite an ambitious trip for a 22' boat!  After spending time exploring
Grand Traverse Bay a couple of weeks ago, my wife and I are planning
(weather permitting) to make the trek from Charlevoix to Beaver Island in a
bigger boat that we'll be chartering with another couple in late June next
year.
