Thanks for the memories! I grew up in upstate NY and spent many summers at the Thousand Islands. I can still recall the first time I watched a lakes freighter go by when we were sitting in a 14' fishing boat! That thing was HUGE! Fantastic job!!

This is one of my passions. I've done so little fishing since Ellie and Miles were born. Time is so precious but soon they will be old enought to share this. Looks like a great trip and time Frank. Well documented.
