    i know what you mean bud, we went to a power boat show on sproat lake on Vancouver island and the water was crystal clear....i remember that day well...it was a really hot day and my wife decided to dive in and have a swim, the good bit was she was wearing shorts, a white thin T-shirt, and a see thru lacy bra...when she came walking out it was like a wet T shirt show....lol....it just so happened that i had my camera with me for the powerboat show...lol...i got a few extra shots that day...lol

    well, i did read a piece about this and the write up was saying that it was a low slung boat to start off with and the...10's of thousands tons of cargo didn't help....but, apparently a storm in the fall into winter are much more stronger than any other time....the waves out there must of been pretty big to take the number of big ships down i would have thought mate, with storms being the number one cause of these wrecks....it's mind blowing driving round these waters and after hours and hours and hours you remind yourself....it's a lake....lol

    these big lakes do act different than your usual lakes, i've seen white horses rolling to the shore line just like the sea.....there are 550 wrecks on lake superior and the biggest was the SS Edmund Fitzgerald which went down in a storm, it was 729ft long and 75ft wide, shows you how these waters act like the ocean....

    yes, loads of lakes as you say, the good part is you can go fishing in a lot of them for free and when you want to, i was watching a fishing program a while back and pretty sure they were fishing the St Lawrence river (Ontario) for carp, they were as dedicated as the English at it as well....they had some decent fish out, 20lb+....and there are carp in there at 50lb+...apparently it is getting more popular there now with campsite setups to book your get away carp fishing, an people from Europe and the uk are going there more often now.

    talking of huge lakes, when i worked in Yellowknife in the northwest terrortries we went fishing almost every evening after work (piking) in a lake called the....great slave lake....it was 291 miles long (469km), by 126 miles at the widest (203km), and 2014ft deep (614m), also when i drove from the west coast to the east coast (Canada) at some point i was driving along side lake superior which is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area which holds 10% of the worlds surface freshwater...anyway, i was driving round that lake for hours...it's 350miles long!!!...is that big enough

    there paying an incentive fee of $10,000 for doctors to work here, and $10,000 for nurses to return back to nursing, but they have stay here for 5 years (i think), as they would start here in canada then move to the states for big money....my mates grand daughter is getting $400 a shift nursing.... they are crying out for hospital/construction workers.....

    looks good mac, we switched all our old light bulbs for LED's through out our house, wood shed, workshop and craft shop and saved 50ish bucks a quarter, we switched out around 45-55 old 100w bulbs in all...you must be making a good saving using them LED's in your line of business....
