I live in the NE. Lake Erie is my home lake. But I enjoy reading the
experiences of others.



I was born and raised on Owasco Lake, 40 mi SW of Syracuse. Been a boat
owner, of one sort or another since I was 8 (lovingly restored old oak
rowboat and 1hp Elto outboard circa 1930-something and given to me for
Christmas in 1954..(c; It was painted the same green as the picnic tables
at the state park because my grandfather knew someone.)

Back on topic....is Lake Erie still "dead" or have the two governments
gotten that under control?

We used to tent camp at Fair Haven State Park on Lake Ontario, every
weekend, from the time the snow melted until it returned.....weeks
later!..(c; Larry KNOWS Mooneyes on a beach.

The only boat I own, right now, is a 9.6' Watertender and Yam 3hp outboard
one of the guys at the marina gave me. (I never turned down a free
boat....not one time!) He hated towing it and bought a Fold-A-Bote. It's
a fun boat, though not rippingly fast so my neighbor's kids can play with
it. The ketch I sail on belongs to a friend from Atlanta. We're going
sailing in the morning after the weekenders head back to the slave pits.

Hello Larry. No Lake Erie seems to be in not too bad shape. I sail on an
oil tanker on the Great Lakes and we see quite a few fishing boats on
Lake Erie. The water is not good enough for using directly as drinking
water as in various parts of Lake Superior for example.
I see you are a ham. Been a ham for about 10 years now. In the process
of restoring a 27' Vega. Home here is Nova Scotia and will be sailing
out of Chester. Colin...
