I’m of the philosophy that any journey should begin and end in Fishtown.  Seven years ago Rick and I departed on the Belvedere and did the great loop, a circumnavigation of the inland rivers and east coast of the United States.  Coincidentally, my travels take me on a similar route in reverse direction.  As I type this I’m sitting in a friends apartment in West Bloomfield, but hours ago I made sure that my starting point Leland.  It won’t be long until the iceboats will have to be put away from their parking spaces along fudgie beach, the big banks of plowed snow in front of reynolds beach will be melted to a small mass of dirt, and Fishtown will be alive with people walking the docks.  So that means it also won’t be long till I’m back in Leland refreshed and ready for another summer.  Until then, you’ll be able to keep current on where the rest of us dissapear this time of year.
