Skimming the article, it doesn't mention the route, but it does mention that new ships for this will fit in the Welland Canal.

Maybe they’ll offer a day excursion to Mio to walk the grounds where all those PBB-laden cattle, pigs, and chickens are buried.

I'd rather just take a small boat across the lake, early in the morning when the water is like glass.

RIP to steveschneider, who only made it 4% of the way across Lake Superior before the glass turned to 20' waves and a massive storm.

Say hi to g-host, who lies at the bottom of Lake Michigan, and has been there since attempting to walk across a few winters back.

I was on the patio at the Brookshire many years ago and this guy in a Kayak docks in by the first tee. It was none other than John L Smith. Forget running with the bulls or climbing mountains. I knew right then he was a dare devil.

A cruise ship showed up last fall when I was at the Mackinac Island vacation wonderland. I'm not sure if anyone disembarked to partake in any of the horse and fudge festivities. The ship was gone the next morning when I woke up.

Who the fuck cares? I’ll take my Richardson hex steel extension and spin that fucker over the side while drinking a beer. If I have to drain it I have no problem right there. I’ll clean and cook em on deck too. You in?

Ya know, dolphins and whales love to swim and play in the wake of cruise ships, so you might want to go with a heavier test line.
