Two different sailing cruises on Lake Michigan, one with my parents and one with just us is a great way to round up some sailing this summer! We had many guests, and lots of good sails, even though we only recorded our family ones. PLUS: I get to to work on a century or so old boat and give you a mini-tour of the engine compartment!

Feodor Protar: The Angel of Beaver Island In this video, we explore one of Beaver Island's heroes! Protar was a recluse, a medicine man, a healer, an advisor, and so much more. Unique and quirkey, this humble man made his stamp on the Beaver Island Community. Recently, the Beaver Island Historical Society reached out to us to create a video about Feodor Protar for them. And well, we thought we would share this mini-documentary style video with all of you! We hope we did the man justice, and we hope you enjoy it! _________________________________________________________________________ To help support this channel by becoming a Patreon, click here: https://www.patreon.com/Windward2Eden ___________________________________________________________________________ #Protar #Documentary #BeaverIsland

Where Has Our Channel Been? Where Is It Going? These are all clips from previous videos, but Nick needed to put together kind of an "about the channel" video for an event we were invited to. Therefore, we thought we would post it up on Youtube, regardless of the fact that it is just old clips with a new voiceover. New videos start next week!
