Roots and Branches I grew up knowing my grandpa Aaron was a musician and infused my mom’s childhood home with singing, instruments and joy. Grandpa died when my mom was a young teenager, and I did not have the opportunity to meet this outstanding man.
Welcome back Finland Spring and fishing opener, who’s excited? I recently saw an article in an outdoor paper saying, “Ice to be out on all MN lakes for opener”. I am skeptical, but hopefully for all those “jonesin for a boat, bugs and water” they are right! Back on land, I still see some snow in my garden, its melting but not fast enough.

Greetings from the icy waters of Lake Superior! We are now aboard our 40’ sailboat, Amicus II, with four crew on our annual Sea Change voyage to coastline communities, educating and advancing climate-related solutions along the way.

We are currently docked in Washburn, Wisconsin. We encountered ice on the way in, but it was slushy and clear. Nothing that a steel boat can’t handle.
