than Len. He still opens doors for me

and brings me flowers.

He's the sweetest goofball on the planet."

Good Morning from Peche Island

The island was formed from a peninsula of the Canadian shore by the action of the Detroit River. There is a central marsh on the island. The present channel was eroded until the core of the island remained. There are man-made channels cut through the island to ensure fresh water supply and recreational opportunities. The island's flora and fauna have been heavily impacted by human activity, and the forest is the result of a rehabilitation program.

Green with Envy

Envy, the standard rig Mirage 24.

Picture was taken approaching the finish line at the annual Lasalle Mariner's Fighting Island Regatta in the 1970's.

Dacron was the newest material, cross-cut spinnakers were hot, and double slotting with the 170% genoa was common practice during this period. Spinnaker green on one side, white on the other side, was designed so the competion would have a hard time finding you in the rest of the fleet.

Seagull Pigs

For most gulls, it's not flying that matters, but eating.

The Eagle's Nest

You'll have a hard time spotting the eagles on Peche Island and the Detroit River. You'll have a harder time finding their nest. This was my lucky day.
