Here is a pic of the first race we lost. We had a great time loosing it. I spent many hours tinkering around with stuff and sailing solo most of the time. After stepping up from the C25, I realized that now I have a weekend cottage as well as a bigger sailboat. Sleeping on Shady Lady is very comfortable. Cheers.

Dennis, if she ever makes it to the Lake Erie Islands, I'd love to see her up close and personal. Let us know.

Hi John, my wife, Annie, worked every weekend this past summer so I did not do any cruizing. By next summer she will have another job and we plan on cruising every weekend. Which island are you on? We are looking for destinations. Cheers.

I'm actually in the Sandusky Bay but figured that the islands might be a destination for you. They're just outside of the bay for me. If I were looking for a cruising destination, I'd head for Kelley's. It's a little more low key and family oriented than some of the alternatives. If you're looking for night life, etc., Put-In-Bay is your destination.
