Work? Where? Not in this economy! Hell I lost an oppurtunity to captain a tour boat inland to a captain who had lost his job on the GL! Besides the arrogant lot says, "Gee, you only have worked upon the GL!" Lake Michigan and the whole GL is rough, so rough that waves can pick up to 15'+ in minutes, "only the GL", what mug of bilge slop! Ask Ted Turner if he wants to sail here again? Ocean going captains to not like the GL, go ask one! When you can have 15'+ waves 50' part, enough said.
