Whoa!! Strong little sucker!

Marcia with the bigger brother of the shark in the previous picture. She hooked and landed five sharks to four feet in a couple hours. No big fish or keepers (SC min. is 54 inches), but lots of fun! Especially on a seven foot, medium action rod with 10 pound test line.

Another Pelee Passage navaid / Lake Erie. Lots of guano on this one!

Running from Erieau, ON to Kelley's Island on the US side of Lake Erie. 24 miles down and 36 more to go under ideal conditions.

Perfect (and very unusual) morning for a long run across the lake.

Open waters of Lake Erie.

Trying to get creative by showing both the reflection and decals on the window.

Reminder of places that we have been. They also make interesting shadows on the galley.

Decals from the cockpit. Name tag is from a Chesapeake CBGT. Small bungee keeps paper towels from unrolling in the breeze. *

More memories. Kind of like the refrigerator door at home.

Looking up at the toys. Four rod holders per side.
