Boating on the Great Lakes of Michigan. For most people that can mean a casual day
for fair weather boaters and for others, it can be the experience of feeling
the wind and waves kick up when the prevailing northern Michigan winds start
howling. For Lisa Lemans, CEO of
Soothing Waters Spa, being on the water is not just a hobby, it’s a
necessity.
Raised on power boats on the Clinton River in Michigan, Lisa
Lemans learned early to respect the wind and the water by learning and watching
her dad captain their various boats. He
taught her how to navigate the old-fashioned way, with a chart and compass, and
used to make a game out of who could find buoys or landmarks first. She learned to tie lines, make knots and read
the wind, waves and sky. By the time she
was a young teenager, Lisa Lemans could captain boats around the river and Lake
St. Clair.
It’s no surprise that in her early twenties, Lisa Lemans
started her own pursuit of life on the water.
After several boats and many adventures, in her spare time, she is still
boating and enjoying the pristine waters of northern Michigan.
