Pictures of your boats

You are part of the élite group of boaters, that truly are boaters.
The ones that I watch out for here, are the fishermen, to them a boat is just a tool to get to the fish.
I give way to any boat that is near me or in my path. Denny.
Back when the lake was full, would this have been under water? Denny.
I believe that it is you and I. LoL
As I can remember my most vivid picture of Lake Powell, was the number of times we had to turn around, and being worried that we would not make it back to home port before dark.
Lets say that this is your 1st time. And headed towards that shore line, until you are right on top of it, what is a passage way, and what is a dead end. Local knowledge, is the key.
The St. Clair River is 39 miles long and runs from Lake Huron to Lake St. Clair. There are 4 different ways to enter Lake St. Clair from the river, 3 of them are winding channels, if you do not stay in them, you will be in 1to 2 ft of water. I personally ran all of the channels and entered way points, and then turned the waypoints into routes. Boating that river at night , is a sight and feeling to behold, you and maybe 1 lake freighter. And then to run one of the channels with only your GPS, and then 3 miles across open water to a waypoint that you put in to your home port. Local knowledge. I would be scared to death to try to navigate Lake Powell at night. Denny.

Reminds me of sections of our Ottawa River. Some have lovely sand beaches that go on and on and other parts are very rugged with rocks and trees to the water’s edge with high elevations on either side.
The beauty of running on rivers is the landscape changes around every bend. Denny.
I've been to Lake Ontario and Niagara Falls on the Canadian side but the only Canadian body of water I've been on is St. Catherine's. I was on an 8 man crew team in high school. We had a meet with Canacious HS in Buffalo. Suppose to row somewhere above the falls but water was coverined with ice so they moved the event to St. Catherine's. . 69 or 70. We had a blast up there. 
Love the pics. This is the time of year when most of us cannot boat so boaing pics help get us through this winter season. Thanks all.

Another nice photo, thanks for reminding me that it is time for lunchI have a hard rule on Lake Powell. On the hook and secure by 4pm. For a couple reasons, I don't want to be looking for a cove for the night later than that and it's time for happy hour

Not only the photos, but the stories that go along with them.I've been to Lake Ontario and Niagara Falls on the Canadian side but the only Canadian body of water I've been on is St. Catherine's.

I have the pleasure of my girl 12 mouths a year. In the off season she sits on her trailer in her own room in my heated building, and I get to play with her all winter, so she will be ready to go in the spring. She has been spoiled, if she is not in the water, she is on her trailer setting in her room. Denny.
