: I'm biased of course, but I agree. She is pretty, she sails very
: nicely, and she is comfortable to live on for an extended trip.
: We typically get out for one major trip of 4-5 weeks each
: summer, plus other miscellaneous trips more locally. When we
: bought her, we were still thinking about taking her offshore,
: but so far, we are having too much fun locally to bother.

: What sort of sailing did you do with your boats?

: Best regards,

: Allan Edie

I've always been on the great lakes, so all my sailing has been on them, first on Lake Erie then in the past lots of years on Lake Michigan. Never had the time/money for long trips, mostly day trips and a few crossings (the lake is 70-85 miles across) to the Michigan side on vacations.
