Hi Dave,

I am planning to go to Isle Royal in July or August I’m flexible as to the specific date. I hear Chippewa Harbor and McCargoe Cove is calling me as it has already been a long Winter.

I have had a few sick days but for the most part I have been busy with the ministry as a chaplain at the county jail and the state juvenile detention center.

I am making some alterations on the Whaler; the drivers seat will be in two sections one for storage and one for fishing equipment. On the port side, bow and stern will be bench or chest seats for more storage. The alterations will be of oak as I have plenty of it to work with, no teak or mahogany. The alterations will begin next week with the drivers seat. I am also considering Cleaning the brown stain off the hall; or is that going to far?

God Bless,
Chaplain Hoagy
Larry Hogaboom


P.S. I would like to share 2007 pictures of Isle Royal but I don’t know how???
