Mac32. I see Michigan, I have been around Lake Michigan atleast twice.
I have a lot of respect for Lake Michigan. It can get really rough in short order there.

Here's me and Irene on our cruise last spring. No that's not a Trojan we're on. This one is at Cape Lookout rafted together with our son's 28 Bertram and our friend's 27 Sea Ray for a cookout. This one was a fishing trip out of Ocracoke in 2007 on my son's Bertram. Southern Cross was there but the wife wouldn't let me take it fishing....said it would stink it up

Here is the 1st Sailfish on my (I'm on the right) recently restored Chaparral 26 offshore boat ... the Mack Attack ,
Caught on a Green/White Islander with small Ballyhoo in 95' on Shimano TLD30 - June 30, 2007. Set the hook, handed it to my friend Doug on the left (Manufacturing Mgr at RNR Marine's plant), who brought it in after 15 minutes, I leadered it, wife got the the pic and we released it unharmed. Our East Coast sails are not as big as the west, but fun to catch!
We catch a lot of Dolphin here ... this is on my friend Johnny's 56' Carolina Custom - the Juncanewt ...

Great pictures, My son took me on a charter several years ago on fathers day. We did not get to go offshore like we had asked for and the only thing we caught were Spanish Mackeral. We were dissapointed in the charter not going offshore. The weather was not bad, nor was the waves. We have not charted since from them.
My son did give me a similar picture of me sitting in the chair and him beside me. I have it in the living room. It still was a good day.
I wouldn't be ashamed to pull some of those fish in. Great fishing.
Oh, look at the food. Wow, now that is what boating is all about. Good companionship with other boaters.

Being computer illeterate I don't know how to post the pic, but can post the link. This is me hoisting a cold one (Great Lakes Brewing\Edmund Fitzgerald porter) after a hard day of washing, scrubbing and waxing.
Hey Chum, The one you chose does work. If you had gone down to the one IMG and copied it instead and pasted it here a picture would have shown up. But what you did works just fine.

Thanks ross-no it's a porter (Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald). Guiness is a little to "heavy" for me in hot weather. I've been known to throw back a few Black and Tans in the summer, but straight Guiness is a little to heavy for me when it's hot.
LSP, I bet that F 32 you are riding really gets mph on the water. LOL Hey, My brother rides motorcycles and goes all over the country. He has ridden them for years. Also I have a friend who just bought a 3 wheeler. Both love to ride.
So you got a longer beard now. Well you couldn't have done it at a better time.

if you click the link, you'll find I'm the one that looks like Tom Cruise [some people say Brad Pitt]...or not..
PS; if you're ever around my way, and have an emergency requiring the use of non-petroleum based lubricants, or latex gloves, give me a buzz, and I'll get you fixed up.... that's a joke.... or not...
