Fantastic Voyage
A couple of years ago, Mike Golip and Juan Restrepo took a 21' open boat from Monroe, Michigan, north across Lake Erie, the length of Lake St. Clair, the length of Lake Huron, through the Soo Locks, and into Lake Superior's Whitefish Bay. These are a few scenes from that voyage.
Please start here with the Prologue

If you'd like more details, some encouragement, info
on how we outfitted this 21' open boat, or complaints, please e-mail me. 
We learned that anyone could take this cruise in a 34 footer, one fellow
we met couldn't do it in a 65 footer, but the challenge of a small boat
can't be beat.
