Jeff Bell: For nearly 10 days, Captain Doug Heuck, Deck Officer Geoff Catlett, Dave "Cookie" Guenther and I, 1st Mate Jeff Bell, sailed from Cedarville, Michigan, through the North Channel of Lake Huron, in Canadian territory. This journey in a 27-foot Catalina, became our own quest, and upon reflection, this journey parallels Jason and the Argonauts, and the quest for the Golden Fleece. The first day of sailing took us to Pilot’s Cove, which was the last real nirvana we experienced. We drank and sang and swam naive as to the challenges ahead. Our second sail was to Gore Island, Canada, and mirrored the Argonauts arriving in Lemnos, the land of women without men. For us, Keira, the harbor master, the staff at Purvis Fish House and the old woman watering the public garden were all we would meet. The third sail to Baie Fine was like the Argonaut’s passage through the wandering rocks. We ran aground, but ultimately safely passed after a watchful and treacherous night of gale winds. Our fourth sail to Killarney was when we met the Sirens of the Sportsman Inn. We had to blindfold and tie up Catlett to save him. Our fifth sail to Croker Island was similar to the peaceful welcome Jason received at the Doliones, only later to be threatened by the Genenees (six-armed giants). In our case, it was the huge Super Yachts in Benjamin Cove that nearly consumed us. Our sixth sail to Otter Islands reminds me of the murder of Absyrtus, Medea’s brother, which angered Zeus so much that he summoned a gale and blew the Argo into havoc. In our case, we spun 360 degree and nearly collided with another sailboat. Our seventh sail to Long Point was most definitely like the passage through the clashing rocks (Symplegades). While we entered Beardrop Cove safely, we did so after hitting a rock. Our eighth sail to Blind River and then across the Channel to Tolsmaville was like the Argonauts discovering an abandoned Island except for a Temple dedicated to Ares; few people and few buildings, but very hospitable. During our ninth day of sailing back to Detour, Michigan, we encountered the huge freighters reminiscent of the Argonauts facing the bronze giant Talos. Ounce we arrived in Cedarville, MI, we celebrated our triumphant return home with the Golden Fleece!

Tory Burrows (Smith):  Lyn Crozier Langbein, Polly Hecht Ragusa, Julie Kozlowski, Gretchen Spears-Jacobsen and I celebrated turning 60 together in Nashville this past spring. We ate well, toured the city, and listened to lots of great music at The Bluebird Cafe, The Listening Room & Robert's Western World.
