Well, with my 29-day Grand Canyon river trip over and the ice slowly melting off the lakes back home, but not quite cruising season around here, I figured it's finally time to put up a thread about my first big(ish) trip in my new (can you call it "new" if it took 7 years to build?) Kurylko Alaska, seen here in northern Wisconsin on an early shake-down cruise last summer:

I wasn't able to get away during the summer for a real trip, though, so this was an autumn jaunt through the North Channel and into Georgian Bay, launching from the little town of Spanish as usual--that's the Ontario side of Lake Huron for those unfamiliar with the area:

Small Boats Monthly published an account of my trip back in the November 2017 issue, even putting my boat on the "cover" of the digital issue, which you can find HERE if you're interested. With their kind permission, I'll be reliving the experience here on this thread to amuse myself and any other interested parties.
