It's good to have Friends

Just got some exciting news, Darrell Friesen has said he would like to join Keith Bruch and I to sail the Superior leg. With three of us, we can sail a night leg if the weather permits. Received the cruising guide for Superior this week in the mail. I'm meeting with Keith on Wednesday. He is going to review the guide and help formulate the sail plan for this leg. Doug

I thought I would fill you in on some of the Great Lake Adventure prep I have been working on. I emailed the commodore of the Duluth Yacht Club and told him of our plans and asked if he knew of anyone that could share some local knowledge with us. He put me in touch with Dale and Amy whom we have emailed back and forth a few times. We are going to try and get together with them when we drive down to check out the roads and marinas in the Duluth area, near the end of April. I have got all the U.S. paper charts for Lake Superior and the Canadian paper charts for half of Canada. I think they weigh 30 lbs! I have been busy jumping through hoops with boat registration and radio station licensing but I believe I have it in order now. Andrew is ordering the new AIS/VHS radio. I just received the cruising guides I ordered for the North Channel all the way to Kingston. Doug
