The Lake Winnipeg Mug
No. 01 in The Lake Series
Four hundred and sixteen kilometres long, and twelve metres deep on average. That pair of numbers explains everything about Lake Winnipeg — why it warms up early enough to swim in June, and why it can turn from glass to whitecaps while you're still deciding whether to go.
Anyone who keeps a boat at Gimli or Victoria Beach has a story that starts with the water being flat. You learn to read the western sky, drink the coffee down, and go early. This is the mug for going early.
Enamel over steel, the way camp mugs have always been made. It doesn't crack on the pier. It doesn't hold yesterday's coffee. It cools fast enough to drink standing up, which is the only way anyone drinks it while the water is still calm.
Twelve ounces of the biggest lake nobody outside Manitoba has heard of.

One rule: this mug goes to the fire, not on it. Don't heat it directly on a burner or in the coals — the enamel coating is the whole reason it lasts, and direct heat is the only thing that will take it off. Hand wash it, keep it off the element, and it'll outlast the boat.
