About me: My new Captain and Admiral purchased me in May 2007 from Jacksonville, Fl. My prior owner let me sink about half way due to open exhaust hole, dead batteries and faulty bilge pumps.

The admiral found me on craigslist and sent the captain to rescue me...you can read the rest of my story at. www.lebitch73.spaces.live.com

Transient Slip and Dock Lessons Learned - From Camelot 10/30/2007 8:28:57 PM (1778 views) (0 comments) Okay, so I've been sailing since I was 16 or so. We've gone incrementally from an O'Day Day Sailer up to the current Ericson E31. So, sure, I do have a fair amount of experience on the water.

However, this is my first boat that's really been able to sail to different harbors. Sure, the Seaward 23 could handle Lake Michigan (in general, not extremely rough conditions) but I never really did much harbor hopping. Add the fact that my only non-trailering experiences in harbors is primar ... More

Done for the year - From Camelot 10/23/2007 9:14:27 PM (1458 views) (0 comments) We sailed from Monroe up to the Waukegan Port District the other day in some of the most calm conditions I think I've ever seen on Lake Michigan. We had to the "iron sail" the entire way and had to spit in the water to see if we were moving. Had it been a warmer day, it most definitely would have been a fly bite extravaganza.

Being a cooler day, it took the 2QM15 a while to start - about 25 minutes. I thought for sure that she was flooded, but eventually she fired up and roared to li ... More

almost devistating! - From InLikeFlynn 10/20/2007 8:42:04 PM (1850 views) (1 comments) I was bringing the boat home from Lake Wallenpaupak after some repairs, when I lost the wheel bearing on the trailer, on the left side. Not a good experience. More Money LOL I LOVE IT!

Final outing for the season. - From InLikeFlynn 10/10/2007 5:21:05 AM (1188 views) (0 comments) Today will be our last outing for the 2007 season. Still nice today in P.A. about 65f and partly sunny. I wish it was April I only own this boat for 2 weeks and it's time to wrap it up.

Lake Michigan and British Petroleum (BP/Amoco) - From Camelot 8/14/2007 8:49:05 PM (2112 views) (0 comments) Recently there has been quite the buzz about a new permit given to British Petroleum by Indiana. According to www.ProtectOurLake.com, "British Petroleum has announced plans to dump up to 1,584 pounds of ammonia and 4,925 pounds of industrial solids into Lake Michigan every single day from a BP refinery in Whiting, Indiana".

While I'm not sure of the absolute validity of these figures (they come from the site mentioned above) there has been quite a bit of coverage on the local ... More

Maiden Voyage - From dannysedor 7/15/2007 7:44:09 AM (1905 views) (0 comments) On July 12, 2007 'Danny's Addiction" touched water for the first time. A short one-hour tour of Lake Erie from Rocky River reservation to the mouth of the Cuyahoga River (about 8 miles). It was a solo-trip with a consistent speed of about 25 MPH.

On July 13, 2007 I took a passenger and we made the same trip and ventured farther down river past the flats an down to just past the Columbia Road bridge, and back again. About a 2 hour journey. I decided then that I was addicted and named the ... More
