All kidding aside, water quality is something we should all be concerned about.  These lakes are treasure, and we need to take care of them.

I had GI issues on Saturday (will spare you the graphic details), so you can add me to the list. Not sure if I can blame Seneca, but seems like more than a coincidence.

We did manage to catch the NW flow off the back of the front at Sodus on Sunday.  Looked very promising when we arrived at about 10:30am and Gus was getting yanked out of the footstraps on his 5.5m.  However, the wind steadily dropped all day, which m…[Read more]
