The Dan McKay Collection
Dan owns Mikayla (ex PPM 32), and his dad Cliff owns Decelles.
Dan comments: the Decelles was moved to the Sault in 1992 from the Basketong Reservoir near Maniwaki QC
by me and my dad. I bought W. B. Irene in 2001 and re-sold it in 2003 to the USA. Mazerack was brought to the Sault the same time as the Decelles, and renamed Little Al by me, then sold to USA and mistakenly
named Little L (now in Saginaw Bay).
