RE: Navigating the Mississippi River Backwaters - A tribute to my Grandparents, and my Dad.
Awesome post. I have spent many hours out on the Great Lakes and have great respect for being out on the water and learning the ways of boating with my dad.
I can see the dangers of navigating all those pitfalls, it is different than the dangers I have faced on the big lakes.
Thanks! I have sailed the great oceans, the big lakes, and the mighty rivers, and I must say... though the ocean is vast, on the rivers, you can't let your guard down for too long. Glad to hear from another midwestern water lover. Are you in Detroit, right between Erie and Huron? :)
Yup, north of Detroit, spent a lot of time on from Lake Huron, ST Clair River, Lake ST Clair, Detroit River and Lake Erie, with occasional Lake Michigan sprinkled in. I have been on all the same waters as well, off Florida, etc., each has its unique challenges one must be wary of.
