    Love going to watch the massive waves during a storm. The boardwalk has gotten washed out several times over the years. LS is called an Inland Sea by some. There's a place called Stony Point where people like to Surf during those Storms and the Waves have actually washed over the dirt road that winds through the point. It's one of favorite spots along the North Shore.

    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.
