Summer Time!
My husband owns a big Lake Superior fishing boat and we took it out for a ride this past weekend. It was a beautiful day; the lake was smooth and the sky was bright. We putted for a bit in the harbor and up the North Shore and then headed for Wisconsin waters to see if the lakers were biting. We all had a great time. It’s so fun to be out on the water. And it’s especially fun when you are out on the lake that has such a huge impact on our daily lives. It is a big part of our culture, our industries and our landscape. It impacts the quality of the watershed and it directs our weather (it’s cooler by the lake!).
