Hi Doug.... interesting brochure. It's certainly not easy to place all the waters of a country as vast as Canada into four categories so It's somewhat simplistic but it gets the basics out of the way and leaves room for exceptions. Thanks for the posting. :) Also... thanks for the posting of your contacts with the mishap near Chicago. Nice follow-up. I've found that large waves on fresh water tend to be steeper; perhaps it's the density of salt water. For whatever reason, I prefer salt water as long as I don't have to wear eyeglasses.
