   Yes, I was working my way back South after completing my circle tour of   
   Lake Superior.  The farthest north I have been to date was a curve in the   
   Trans-Canadian Highway, somewhere east of Nipigon, along the north shore of   
   the lake.

   I am not much of a boat guy, either, but I usually take at least one boat   
   trip while I am up around the lakes.  Odd enough, the two times I was on a   
   ferry ride, the lakes in question (Huron, Erie) were throwing fits those   
   days!  :)

   Being on the second largest of the Great Lakes, I don't doubt it!
