John Vangilder, Don Harris, Tom Shain, Ross Long (Hoover SC) and yours truly, Jerry Besanceney, “titular skipper”- hereinafter referred to as the “Ancient Mariners” – five septuagenarians to be more specific, completed a Lake Erie Bareboat charter last week.
Here’s our story!…
We sailed from Harbor North at Huron, Ohio aboard the beautiful White Pine, a 41′ Hunter sloop, last Monday the 23rd and encountered strong direct opposing seas, sailing seas part of theway then making the Kelley’s Island Harbor . We tied up at the Casino bar restaurant docks and were treated so well by friendly locals. The next day brought beautiful, mild sunny weather all the way to Leamington, Ontario.
