Now Patrick, that is a bit of an exaggeration. :) Lake Superior has hundreds 
of miles of some of the best sand beaches in the world, and will probably 
have hundreds more as it continues to dry up. (The lake has lost about 9 
cubic miles of water in the last year to evaporation and lack of snowfall and 
is headed for record low levels this summer.) Of course, that still leaves 
about 2000 miles of rugged rock shoreline for scratching your boats up.
