Heat Wave

Forcasted high is 100^oF. Record high for this date is 96^oF so it looks like we're headed for the history books. It makes it hard to get Outdoors Downriver but there's so much going on. The top draw would be the Trenton Boat Races known as the "Roar on the River". The activities start tomorrow so check out their web site- http://trentonroarontheriver.com/ for more info. They have a fund raiser on the Diamond Jack boat but you can take a cruise Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays leaving Wyandotte's Bishop park at 1 and 3:30pm. See their web site for more info-http://www.diamondjack.com/.

Remember the water is only about 75^oF so the ride should be a bit cooler than being on shore. Lake Erie Metro Park has boat tours also on a limited basis. Check their web site for more info- http://www.metroparks.com/calendar_item.aspx?ID=1727&PID=7&r=3 or go to the Discovery Cruise's web site-ID=1727&PID=7&r=3http://miseagrant.umich.edu/discovery/ here's the schedule.
