One Of the ships I sailed on I spent 14 seasons on the Ryerson. A season on the Great Lakes on average begins towards the end of March and ends sometime in January.Its then laid up during the worst part of winter. During the summer months I took three vacations--4 weeks twice and 3 weeks once.Nine weeks were paid and 2 were unpaid.and then I had a couple winter months of paid.End of long winded explanation. Andy
