Cindy and I went to Ludington MI for a three day get away to visit Norm, Great guy and a very good host.
He even let me Captian his boat in rough seas. Here are some photos of the trip.

Running the boat from the lower helm I see. Interesting...

Some peopel sure don't look like what you expect. Take me, for example: I'll bet you think I look like Clint Eastwood.

We were in three footers and and sure wasn't as warm as it is in PA, and besides the spray from the bow was coming over the fly bridge. Being a river boater, it was one of the most exciting rides ever on a boat.
Now I know why the Marinette's came with winshield wipers,

Great pictures!
How did you get Norm to put on a Steelers hat?
Catch any fish?

p.s. I've always wanted to take the Badger ferry over to Ludington from Wisconsin.

Norm was relunctant to put it on but I threatened him with a Coor Light and he gave in.............
Weather was really heavy with high seas and we only fished two days. Brought back some nice salmon fillets.
Smoking them tomorrow

Actually Norm is not shown "wearing" the cap...and it is shown next to a "broken down" helm.

Dennis might just be setting him up...at least it wasn't a Penguin's cap.

They were installing a new tach in that picture.
It would have taken A LOT of Bud Light Drinkability and some Captain Morgan's to get him to don a PP's hat.
