[C38] Some upcoming action for us great lakes folks

[Duff, Russ (R.W.)]

I am at the Ford Yacht Club on the south end of Grosse Ile, MI which is
where the Detroit River meets Lake Erie (N 42 Degrees 05.417 Minutes
W 83 Degrees 10.231 Minutes). 

FYI, it will take you a good 10 hours just to get from there to the north
end of Lake Saint Claire, then another 8 to 10 hours to travel up the St.
Claire River to Port Huron at the south end of Lake Huron. Plan on having
enough fuel to make the trip since there aren't many easily accessible fuel
stops along the way.

Hopefully see you this summer.

Sincerely,
Russ Duff

Well, I am now committed to sailing the Mighty Quinn from Albany, NY to 
Duluth, MN this upcoming summer.  My plans are to motor the canals to 
Oswego, NY (Bob Porter's territory) and then on through Lakes Ontario, 
Erie, Huron (possibly Northern Michigan) and Lake Superior.  All I have 
figured out in terms of hard dates is that I plan to leave mid-May 
depending on weather and canal flooding.  I would sure like to visit 
with other C38ers along the way!  Please let me know the "wheres and 
whens" of your plans this upcoming season and perhaps we can get 
together?  BTW, if there is enough time... I may return this summer as well.
