Quite a number of years ago, we set out to buy a sailboat.  The decision to do so came about after an adventurous trip around the eastern side of the Great Lakes in Ontario Canada.

Both my hubby and I had spent five weeks teaching summer school and our reward was to rent a cottage for a week on the shores of Lake Huron followed by this road trip.  We were exhausted when we arrived at the cottage and the location was spectacular with its world famous sunsets.  For all that week it was easy to think about making a cottage part of our summer experience.
