Jim:

Thanks for the input.  I just finished up my two week vacation in
Charlevoix, no boat this year.  I hope to get my R22 up to the great lakes
within the next few years.  North Channel is definitly on my list of places
to sail.  Were did you trailer and launch your boat from for the North
Channel trip?
