They won't believe you....none of them would ever come here and see for
themselves... "Maxprop" wrote in message ink.net... "Donal" wrote in message Heh .... we haven't heard about the "Sea of Michigan" for a while. Oddly enough, Lake Michigan and the other GLs aren't really lakes at all. They would more correctly be termed inland seas. And I'll take the Roaring Forties any day over Lake Michigan in hurricane force winds. The southern ocean will get very, very big, but Lake M. will have almost no spacing between the 40' waves, meaning a small boat will fall off the waves into the trough as if dropped off a three-story building. Many a salty skipper sailing container and bulk freighters from abroad have been humbled by the GLs. Among the most oft-repeated tales in European and Asian ports are those of storms on the Great Lakes. Max |
There was one weekend when we drove up to Frankfort...that's the only
weekend we weren't on the boat this fall.... "Maxprop" wrote in message ink.net... "katysails" wrote in message Nope..I don't....the past two summers we've done a lot of sailing with our granddaughters, exploring, and in general, not having to deal with dock life...the switch to a mooring was not just a financial consideration.... I'm sure there are occasions when you miss it, but in generally I'm sympathetic with your reasoning. We, too, considered a mooring, but all the available moorings on WL are at the YC or Margaritaville, meaning lots of boat wake and idiot powerboaters blasting through the mooring field at all hours. Further it is a hassle to deal with Niki's needs from a mooring. But I love being on a mooring, mostly because we aren't bothered by others, we have some privacy, and the view is superior. When we travel we almost never rent a slip, preferring to anchor instead. And after doing so for years, we've arrived at the conclusion that the GLs are too crowded. This past fall we sailed down to Muskegon Lake one weekend, just to get away from the dock and the noise. We anchored about 100 yards from your mooring, but never saw you guys. Must have been a weekend you weren't up at the lake. Max |
Well, with a boat that size you need someone to assist...I think the
"assist" is pretty well not willing...the 42 was an accommodation rather than a cottage, I believe...she wanted a trawler....the 30 used to go out several times a weekend... "Maxprop" wrote in message ink.net... "katysails" wrote in message M. B. ...before you arrived, he sailed ALL the time...over the years, and as the boats got bigger, he began to take on the "boat as cottage" attitude...many of the people who were originally on the dock that were sailors have left for other parts.. a few are down here in Muskegon... Interesting. You do know that they have a Catalina 42 now, doncha? And while he still sails, the boat doesn't go out as much as the 36 did. I didn't know him when he owned the 30, so I guess you could be right. He's gotten the 42 crosswise in the fairways a couple of times in a breeze, so I think he tends to keep it tied up more than before when it's blowing. As an aside, I've noticed this trend with most people who've gone to larger and larger boats. Sailing frequency and size vary inversely, it would seem. Max |

"Maxprop" wrote in message ink.net... "Donal" wrote in message If having a new house is something to be proud of, then I must hang my head in shame. Parts of my house are older than your country!! The most beautiful house I've ever seen was a 400 year old place in Sweden. Nothing built in the last 200 years can approach the details, materials, and interest of that place. New homes are sterile, austere, and cheap looking by comparison with even those built 60 years ago. Unless your place is falling in around your shoulders, you have something to engender immense pride. Unfortunately, it used to be a stable!! It has character, but no great architectural merit.
