You must be from the Sandusky, Ohio area.

The old Lyman factory is now a restaurant, bar and marina.

My friend's Lyman is docked at the same slip and same marina
(http://www.romps.com) since it was built........with 3 previous owners.
We dock near them.

Yeah, I grew up near Lakeside/Marblehead. Vermillion has grown in number
of marinas since I was a kid.I remember when Copper Kettle opened. Parents
knew him. He used to launch his boat at the marina we were at then he
opened his own. That seemed to get the juices flowing as other marinas
started opening in that area.

Parents still live in Avon Lake. Me? I'm down here on salt water in Va
Beach. Then again weather is nicer down here.

You must have had a blast growing up in the Marblehead area.

We have lived in Avon Lake for the past 15 years (my wife grew up here and
depending how old you are her father may have been your teacher or football
coach at AL High) and docked at Copper Kettle some 20 years ago. We drove
past that marina yesterday and the slips are mainly empty.

Va. Beach is a great area. My wife's brother lived there for years while
serving in Norfolk (a Commander of an aircraft carrier) and we visited there
many times.
