Wecome to my blog. As a "vintage" American who has not quite kept up with technology, please accept my apologies in advance for any lack of computer savvy. Still, I thought creating a blog would be a fun way to share my passion for boats, the water, and in particular sailing. I am the proud owner of a 1983 O'Day 30 that I purchased two years ago at Georgtown, MD on the upper Chesapeake. This is the fifth sailboat I have owned, the prior ones being 14, 19, 25, and 28 feet respectively. Residing in Erie, PA is a great place to sail given its protected location on the lake, easy access to marina facilities, and several yacht clubs and marinas. The Great Lakes offer a huge cruising ground with a myriad of interesting places to visit, including big cities, small villages and picturesque anchorages. Over the last several years, I have been exploring the eastern half of Lake Erie and would like to extend my range larger each season. So join me on my own voyage of discovery. Granted it's limited in scope, with no dramatic circumnavigations in mind. Still, for most real people those adventures are the stuff of daydreaming and great reading. I find the anticipation of preparing for a cruise and visiting a port hitherto unknown to me just as satisfying and rewarding, and much more within reach. As Teddy Rossevelt once said, "Keep your eyes on the stars, but your feet on the ground." Who knows, maybe I'll make that trip to Tahiti yet!
