Superior Trips 2018 Season Schedule
                                                                                                     Updated 5/3/18

The 2018 calendar is the tentative schedule for the season.  I have retired from running scuba charters and Isle Royale Trips.  I am two years into a five year voyage to circum-navigate the Great Lakes.  In 2016 we circum-navigated Lake Superior and in 2017 we cruised across Lake Superior and zig-zagged through Lake Huron and crossed half way across Lake Erie.  The boat wintered in Fairport Harbor, Ohio. In 2018 we will make a loop starting in Lake Erie, go through the Welland Canal, across the the south shore of Lake Ontario to Kingston.  We will dive in Kingston for a week or two then spend ten days cruising through the Trent Seaverns Waterway back to Lake Huron, Georgian Bay.  We will then go back to the Huron west shore and repeat part of the path we did last year hitting the best parts and what we missed last season.  We will end up crossing back to Fairport Harbor, Lake Erie where we will again spend the winter.  We will spend our time doing what we all love doing diving, fishing, sight-seeing, and shipwreck hunting along the way.   All trips listed are "split expenses" and you may sign up for them by emailing me at info@superiortrips.com or calling evenings at my phone listed on the home page.  Right now the plan is rough and I am looking for input on what you want to do on each week of the trip.  All "split expenses weekends" are subject to change and reserving a spot does not require a deposit and should in no way be construed as a charter reservation commitment.  The list of people signed up for each week is at the bottom of the page.
