Landshark, Great shots. Glad I wasn't on that thing. I grew up on Lake Erie which is the shallowist of the Great Lakes. It too could be quite treacherous.
I was once on a 48' Kris out on the lake, entertaining customers and a storm came up out of nowhere and man we ducked into Sandusky Harbor right now.
The guy damn near tore up the boat trying to get docked and we all headed for the bar.
I have never done it, but I have heard that a cruise on the lake oar boats can be a great experience with great service and excellent food. No casinos,
at least back in the day.
I had one bad experience out there and do not wish to do it again. Did go through a typhoon on the way back from Okinawa and that was quite a ride.
