Ultra - MItt - don't quote me but...

Here's a quote I had to share; "No, I'm not a Sea Wind stalker - just a great admirer of the WaterTribe. Met Manitou on the wheelway this evening. What a delight. He's doing well and cheerful.  I have a hunch he's always cheerful." LD

In the business we call 'em River Angels - Linda just dropped off fresh apples and bananas; she's been following the WaterTribe and us for awhile and was totally inspired!  Guess who's getting a boat and getting into paddling!!

 Bike path to Charlevoix - GOLDEN! - in more ways than one; that is one scenic trail and wheel-way worthy!!

So as the wind and weather Gods play havoc with the big pond, Manitou heads to Lake Charlevoix to east Jordan; from there it is a 5 mile hike over to Ellsworth where he can jump into the chain of Lakes that will eventually get him down to Elk Rapids -- we need a nodded to the wind and weather Gods for 10 - 15 out of the East!  Or...

Being 8.7 miles out of Charlevoix, the weather starts to look promising for a launch on Lake Michigan possibly Wednesday.  So it's camp now, get some huge sleep the next couple of days and be ready for a big push on the big pond. Let's hope for some 2' waves and a moderate breeze out of the Northwest.
