Sure enjoy the view from my computer screen compared to the two feet of snow out my window. Thanks, Colby, for sharing "Gathering" photos for the rest of us snowbound folks. I miss seeing all of you, hope the auction is a rousing success. Pat Clow Meri Aura

Camp Clow is looking forward to next season and visits from C-Brats as they explore the wonders of Lake Superior. Visitation was pretty limited this year as we followed covid protocol. Those of you planning to include Isle Royale in your itinerary keep in mind their VERY strict rule...

John and Eileen, Your grand tour of the Erie Canal and Finger Lakes region made for great summer reading. I have a friend who will be taking his sail boat along the route and he found your comments most helpful. Pat Clow

Enjoyed following your adventures and photos. Happy to know you've learned how to truly "cruise". Traveling with Mystery Girl is a fine way to learn that skill. Looking forward to seeing you both at Camp Clowl Pat

You're right, I am thrilled, but I sure missed being part of the action. I've been on a virtual cruise with Mystery Girl and C-Traveler looking enviously at your warm temperatures. My window view is still very snowy. Enjoy the rest of your exploration of the St. Johns and its environs...

Really looking forward to the series. It's summer in NZ and I can recall back in 1974 watching the "14's" race on the bay in Auckland. One warning that was given to the crews was to jump onto the sail if you happened to capsize due to the sharks in the water. We were visiting some sailing...

Welcome to the club. At age 60 you have many years of great boating ahead of you. The 22 is the perfect boat for single handing although you'll probably get an argument from Cliff on Ocklawaha Queen. You'll get so much advice from the C-Brat family. Your contact with Colby will prove to be...

So now it's official. I was beginning to wonder if land lubbing was really in your future. Grandchildren are a pretty amazing incentive to alter plans and well worth the effort. The Camp Clow gang looks forward to your next visit with or without "Blue Days". Pat Clow

All is well at Camp Clow as my self-imposed two week quarantine is ending. Still no known cases in the upper peninsula of Michigan, but we know our period of isolation won't last. My daughter works in the local grocery store, so each day when she returns home her clothing is tossed in the...

Once again the Hontoon Island Gathering was a rousing success thanks to the enormous effort put forth by Tom and Joyce Schulke. Their organizational skills allowed the "gatherers" to participate in a wide variety of planned and unplanned activities. My special thanks go to the "Auction Team...

Repowered my 2003 with a Yamaha 90 in 2017. Very pleased with the results. Pat Clow Meri Aura

No creatures stirring at Camp Clow tonight, but looking forward to summer visitors to Lake Superior. Looking ahead to the New Year and wishing all many good nights. Cheers, Pat Clow Meri Aura
