Waving at the Lake
It’s been awhile since I was able to get over to Sheboygan when the waves were good for surfing so I was glad to see Steve Bettwy post a wave report, adding that he would be there Tuesday afternoon. Despite an on-and-off downpour during my drive there and again on […]

Up Close with the Alpena
