Launching at Red Cliff, Mn Buffalo Bay Marina

We're cruising in the upper mid west and marina rates are a bargain compared to back East.We're renting a slip in Red Cliff across from the Apostle islands on lake Superior for a month.That comes out to a ridiculously low $ 8.30 a night including electricity.We even get Wi Fi on the boat!

We've trailered the boat up to Wisconsin and are about to cruise Lake Winnebago.A C Dory 22 came by and seems to have an extended hard top roof.Does anyone know if that has been offered as a factory option?We didn't see it up close but just curious. In a few days we head for Bayfield and the...

Enjoy those spectacular cruising waters El & Bill.We head for Lake Superior tomorrow but we're shooting for the PNW next summer.Wish we were heading your way. Alan & Linda

Bill & Brenda- Enjoy the Cumberland.We cruised it as a side trip last year while on the Loop.There was a really nice anchorage we stayed at but of course I can't think of the name right now . We might have mentioned it to you when we talked about it in the past.Maybe we'll see you at apalach in...

I'm not an expert but I think most knives these days are stainless.I don't think they can be be sharpened to the degree a carbon steel blade can.

It wouldn't surprise me.When we were in Scotland a local was telling us about the surge in knife fighting in Glasgow.I was about to make a facetious comment about banning knives to solve the problem when he said they were about to ban many types of knives.Believe it or not in New York City they...

Roger-If you're ever in NW Florida stop by our farm and we'll give you eggs.We have free range large brown layers and the yolk is bright orange and they taste great. Good luck on the egg hunt. Alan on Simplicity.

I knew things must have gotten bad when I saw last month's Florida Sportsman. I was shocked at how thin it was-almost no ads for boats. Alan

We've never camped with our boat before but on our trip next month to lake superior we hope to.We don't intend to use the head or sink. It sounds like we better call for reservations and tell them up front that we're pulling a boat & see if that's OK. I guess it can be an issue at some camp...

We're interested in cruising the St Johns too but just read it's at record low water.Is it going to effect your cruising options?Enjoy the trip. Alan

Yes there is a place for law suits & Lawyers when real negligence occurs. People can suffer serious injury. The problem is Lawyers take 30 or 40% for themselves.A quadriplegic needs this money for a life time and the huge fees Attorneys charge in my opinion are immoral. These high fees are also...

Thanks for the info everyone.We're getting excited about the cruise & it sounds like Bonnie Dahl's book is the way to start planning the trip.Linda will be adding to our Great Loop blog as the trip progresses. http://voyageofsimplicity.blogspot.com Alan on Simplicity

Have any c brats done any lake superior cruising?.We're trailering the boat to Door county to cruise the wisconsin side of lake Michigan. Then maybe to UP around Marquette & try Superior.It's an intimidating body of water but spectacular in it's beauty.Any suggestions on well protected...

I agree with DR Bob- the CD25 weighs substantially more than my CC23. It pulls easily with our Tahoe and I don't think that would be the case with the 25. Alan

We're a little intimidated by Alaska waters so cruising with the C brats would be great. If it becomes a yearly cruise we want to do it next year.We're not sure if We'd rent a boat or trailer ours. It probably makes sense to rent with the distance involved.Good luck on the cruise & we'll follow...
