Hey Doug, Yeah Isle Royale is spectacular. Clean and pristine. I did see other boats, but not very often. This will be my third trip up there this year and I can't wait to get there. I read about other going around the world and all that and yes I would love to do that, but I remind myself that when I am on Lake Superior I am cruising in some of the most beautiful parts of the world. John I just looked through your trip pictures of your Ilse Royal circumnavigation. WOW! What a pristine area. Not a picture of another boat after leaving the harbor. Great shots of my favorite bird, the Loon. That is a trip about dreams accomplished. Congratulations and thanks for the excellent pictures. Doug Kelch
