Today we MOTORED around the lake. Wonderful. My back protested after awhile on the laced seat so I tried sitting on the ethafoam seat which put me about six inches lower. Didn't feel right. Therefore I still need to figure out a stiff back for the laced seat but all in all it was a great ride. And the little 30# thrust MinnKota was even more than we needed to push us around the lake fairly expeditiously.
Late rain and a return to lower temperature are supposed to prevail tomorrow but we plan on going out again, exploring more and probably trolling while we do it. Yeah, I know, this is Michigan not Maine, but trolling could work here too.
Thanks again for all your comments and suggestions.

Bill
