Winnipeg to Moosomin
Hey Jack !!!! Hope your doing well found this blog by accident. I did get over the flu and last week I qualified for the IBA. The ST is still running strong and now I have 120,000 Km on it. Take care and I hope to see you again. Len

Fishing Tug
Great Lakes commercial fishing.. usually with gill nets but occasionally trawl nets.. take place in all weathers and all seasons. This design allows for complete shelter of the crew. Nets are set through the stern door.. and retrieved through a side door. On the return trip to port fish are picked from the nets in reasonable comfort. There is room in the wheelhouse for crew to sleep on matresses.. under very low headroom.. on the way to the fishing grounds.. or if they are fishing out of other than their home port. Fishing though is day fishing.. out in the morning as early as 4am and back to the dock by mid afternoon to allow the fresh fish to be shipped.

Hi Jack
Hello there, Nice to read your blog and general insights Jack. I'm a bit of a fair weather biker, however I would love, love, love to do some trips like yours. From what little I've read anyway. :) I understand you have little time to spend updating these entries while you're traveling, so probably don't have much time to give expansive detail .... (when starting to read a sentence that starts like that I guess you can 'hear' the formative feedback coming. So here it is. ) ..... I was kinda looking for some Zen and the Art of Motorcycling type insights in your stories ... .something to give your stories a bit of extra dimension. What smells did you experience? How did an experience affect you personally? What do you think? I don't blog myself so please ignore the above if you feel it's waffle. cheers, Mark

Sum up from a reader
Jack; This was a wonderful way to rap up your blog. I know I speak for many when I say, I really looked forward to reading about your exploits, checking out the Google map to see if I might have driven the route at some time in the past etc. I especially enjoyed your stories about the people encounters. You're much more open about approaching strangers than I would have been. I hope this isn't your last trip and Blog. You have a talent for this. Keep it up and remember that 66 is the new 56 !!! Cheers your old friend Terry

From time to time I actually travel somewhere. I will try to populate this blog with my notes when I'm on the move are finding neat new places, but I probably won't be too consistent and the timing of my posts may be a bit haphazard. Photographs will be included sometimes. I used to travel around on an ST1100 motorcycle, but now I'm much more sedate in a RAV4. I must say, I do like the comfort of listening to my music and podcasts as I drive. And when it is raining.....what can I say; I've had enough of being cold and wet on the motorcycle.... full info
