    Sailed the Great Lakes for 4 summers while in college in the early 1970s. Sailed on the Enders M Voorhees, Leon Fraser, William A Irvin, Joshua A. Hatfield and the Thomas F Cole. Interestingly, the boat got older every year I sailed. The Cole, my last boat, was built in 1907. I sailed her in 1974. One of my last trips in the fall of 1974 was a downbound trip from Minnesota ( I think out of Duluth but might have been Two Harbors) and it was freaky. We left Minnesota into a pretty good blow and the sound of that 70 year old boat working in the 20-25 foot swell was damned scary. You could see the boat bend up and down in the middle on the swells and twist torsionally and the old steel just screamed. I got off a trip or so after that and never second guessed that decision.

    I moved up on Lake Superior a few years ago.
    Couldn’t wait to get a big boat and take her out of my port in Ashland. One hour from Duluth.
    Siting at a bar one night. I got to taking to a life long local elderly man. I commented that he must love to be on the water.
    His reply was... Young man ( I’m 50) i never go on the water. Lake Superior will kill you and never know you were there.
    True story.
