Default Anyone from Lake Superior?

Hi, I'm new to forum, my name is matt from Marquette Michigan. I've been lurking around the forum here for a while, kinda curious to see if anyone's from the Lake Superior area.

I just purchased my first performance boat, a 85 wellcraft nova 2 about a month ago and have been having a blast with it ever since. Boats name is Bonndage (my last name is Bonn )
See ya's on the water.

Not from up there, but have freinds that live there. We have boated up there for years and must admit it is by far the most beutiful in MI. The weather plays a big roll up there. I bet you know where this is.

very cool picture, I just was on the phone with a customer from SC and when I told him I was from MI he started talking about Lake Superior, I have never had the pleasure of boating there, the furthest I have been is the tip of the lower pen. and seeing how beautiful the water is, I can't imagine how it would be further north.

Welcome to the board.

Where is that?? I've thought about superior but we have never done it. Looks cool though. Where would we want to go if we were going to stay up there for say 4 or 5 days.

Bingo,
You have not seen true water until you go there. We have been to the water falls, ship wrecks and the dunes. And know where compares to it. The past 3 years we have taken groups up there in August and the water temps have been in the 70's and air temps in the 90's. This year we didnt make the trip on water. My wife had her class reunion in Norway, Yah.

NIce pic. I've yet to run to pictured rocks but will be shortly.

We were suppossed to go that way 2 weekends ago with a group but other stuff came up. We were planning to run outta marquette friday night over to munising, then spend all day saturday running up and down the pictured rocks, then come home on sunday. Good thing we didn't go, I guess the weather picked up pretty quick and everyone got stuck in munising till monday.


Been there a few times on snowmobiles but never by water, thats going to change shortly

A couple of pics from Marquette last week. We were just passing through heading home from northern Minnesota. Stopped for dinner and took a walk around. They're really building up the shore area there with condos and more restaurants. Looks nice these days.
