Sounds like sour grapes to me.
I can't think of many foods that I like better than Lake Erie perch.
Not easy to find in the land down under.

You need to find an ocean....water levels are always high, and you can
swim without being poisoned.

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

Don't know how to break the news to you but there are places in the Great
Lakes where the water is clean enough to drink untreated. Lake Erie water
was considered unsafe to drink in the early 19th century, naturally
occuring
organisms most likely being the culprit.

Nah, I think I'll pass.
Anyplace from which you can't eat the fish is not my sorta place to
get a drink.

The last time I went down the coast I was surprised at the marinas that were shoaled
so badly half the slips were unusable. Dredging can sometimes be problematical.
Being on the ocean is not a guarantee of deep water.

I don't get it. Please explain what a grounded boat tied to pilings has
to do with a wing keel? We do that all the time to scrub the bottom.

Cheers

Yeah, you have tides, published data, we have seiches, wind driven, and they
can raise the water level dramatically in a short period of time. They tend
to be more dramatic at the beginning and end of the season, which correspond
generally with the annual high and low water level levels of the Lakes.

But in the Great Lakes, there's nothing that will bite you, sting you,
or attack you. And you don't have to wash yourself off after leaving
the water.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

John Kerry says he will solve all these problems with stem cell
research.

Horass, don't go. Your boyfriend will miss you and you'll miss the
biting.

George Bush says he'll solve it with prayer.

Absolutely, NW end. Water's back up today, boat is floating nicely, will
probably drive down to the yard tomorrow for the haul-out.

You must be on Lake Erie. I saw the water drop about 4- 4 1/2 ft in
Huron, Ohio.
