Title: NOT a cruising guide to the Great Lakes
Product review: I have cruised the Great Lakes for years in most of the same places as Mr. Dwelle, so I was eager to read his book "Summer Studies." And much of the work will be of interest to Great Lake sailors, but this is NOT a cruising guide. Rather it is a rambling retrospective that suffers from a few too many political comments and rants that have nothing to do with cruising, and only serve as an insight into Mr. Dwelle's politics. He even includes a 40 page history on the treatment of the local natives by white settlers, which - however interesting - seemed to belong more in a beginning anthropology textbook than a book on cruising.If your politics lean towards the Green Party, and you have ever anchored out in the North Channel of Lake Huron, you will certainly enjoy the work. I found it self indulgent.
