I learned to waterski and jump freighter wakes in the Detroit River.
First time I fell I was shocked to be able to stand in neck deep water
1000' from shore...you see in 1968, you couldn't see the bottom in 5'
of water in the Detroit River!!!



My father actually DROVE US through Sarnia, Ontario Chemical Sewage City on
our way to Michigan. I'm amazed when you let go of the rope the skis
actually sunk in the Detroit River in the 60's!
