Hot Stepper

Back at work after an awesome trip. Took the chance on Friday late afternoon launched and was able to run 40-45 all the way across never saw another boat the whole way. a little bouncy but seen much worse. Stayed at Burnham Harbor for the weekend. Did the Field House Museum, Sheds Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, Navy Harbor, Second City, Dinner at Texas de Brazil & Catch 35. The run back yesterday was even better - 40-45 starting out building up speed as the lake flattened out. Stopped about half way across had lunch with the city skyline still in sight saw like 3 other boats making the crossing. As we went east - last third of the trip averaged 50-60. I think I may have pissed off some guy fishing near Benton Harbor - boats all over the place picked a line though the biggest opening which happened to be about 500 ft. he gives me this arm shrugging look like hey I'm here, and I'm thinking no chit I'm 250 ft away totally legal passing maneuver - get over it or head out to bigger waters away from the port opening away from all of the boat trafic Dipstick. Seen a big orange Nortech cat 36 or 38 coming out of Benton Harbor on our way in - I'd swear it was the same one I seen in the St.Lawerance earlier in August that ran the Kingston poker run.

So now its official Hot Stepper has been in all 5 Great Lakes. I think I'll start a new thread for that one.
