Great Lakes

I had a similar experience on the Crystal in Lake Erie. Normally 120 feet in Erie is hovering around 44 degrees, I never had a temp drop from the surface to 120...72 degrees the whole way. Of course we couldn't see a damn thing when we got there.

If you go to Whitefish Point, (which I suggest everyone try to do at least once...) be sure to visit the museum. Its an amazing place:

Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, A maritime museum in upper peninsula Michigan on Whitefish Point

60° in Lake Superior?!?!!
Ya gotta be kidding, unless all that global warming stuff is way worse than what they've been letting on!!!
It was always "Unisuit time" in Lake Superior, no matter what month it was.

Yup, no joke. The remnants of a hurricane blew through the Great Lakes and we think it turned the water. Any other time I've been in Superior it was 60 on the surface and 40-42 at depth. So I think it was definitely a one-off.

Don't forget about the Munising Area, or Isle Royale, both reported to be great sites..
