When I sail with my father, we often cross Lake Ontario from Toronto 
to the US side.  When we get to the middle of the lake, we are swarmed 
with thousands of common flies.  How do they survive literally miles 
form land with nowhere to rest except out boat?  what are they doing 
there? What do they feed on?
