Michael,

It depends on how well the operations go – ask me next summer!

Roger,

Will you be changing your signature to "Roger Pihlaja (recycled 2021)"?

Hi Jessie,

I think I am finally recovering from my cardiac ablation procedure last
February.  At least my aerobic stamina has improved to the point where I can
do a moderate amount of work or climb a set of stairs W/O getting winded.
Since it's the "off season", and it's been a long time coming, I have
decided to get my knee joints replaced.  The X-rays show the lateral
meniscus in both knees is gone and it's bone on bone due to osteo-arthritis!
The 1st joint replacement will be the right knee on Nov 1st.  If all goes
well, the left knee will be eplaced 6 weeks later in mid Dec.  I will have
all winter to do my PT and get better.  Hopefully, by next summer, I'll be
able to hike, bike, paddle, and sail much better.   We are tentatively
rescheduling our High Adventure Sailing/Sea Kayaking/Beach Camping Great
Circle Tour Of The Apostle Islands archipelago for Aug, 2022.  I'm hoping
I'll be good to go for a few more years after all this recent "rebuilding".
I have 4 grand children, ages 6, 4, 4, and 10 months that I need to take
camping, paddling, and sailing not to mention lots more Boy Scout trips
before they lay me in the ground!

You didn't mention eating at the Beaver Island Lodge in your adventure.  I'm
curious if they managed to stay in business thru the pandemic.

Hi Roger,

Yes - I have read about your epic adventure to Beaver Island and Garden
Island and considered that as some of my pre-trip research reading :)  That
was quite an impressive trip to do on a R22.  We didn't make it over to
Garden Island but maybe we'll get a chance to visit there in the future.
Other than the day from Beaver Island south to Northport, we had pretty calm
conditions compared to what you experienced.

I enjoy reading about the R22 trips that you and others have posted as well.
I'm looking forward to Chris' next installment of Greek adventures.
I've also got Peter's latest Maine trip on my list of youtube videos to
watch.

You also posted some helpful tips regarding Lake Superior sailing but we
didn't make it up there this summer after all.  It was nice to read about
your Apostle Island scouting trip on the catamaran.

Glad you enjoyed the trip recaps!

Jesse
