Jim O'Donnell left a comment for Philip Riggs"How about some sailing tomorrow or Friday on the big lake?

But the gear just sat and sat and sat, waiting for the wind that never happened. So disappointed.On the bright side . . . I have never seen Lake Michigan so clean and clear. After a few days of calm, the lake settled out and I could see the bottom plain as day in 10' of water. As an added bonus, there was not any of the usual…See More
