season we haven't launched.
I'd really like to find someone experienced like yourself who I could follow on a voyage. I'm wanting to sail from either Chicago or Sauginaux, MI and hit Door County WI, Macinac Island, Grand Traverse Bay and then down to Sandusky Ohio (stopping first at the islands off of Sandusky, especially the one with the world's largest freshwater research facility in the world).
I really appreciate the invitation. I'm fairly familiar with with the Dana 24. It just wasn't in my price range so I had a Compac 23/3 and now a Compac 27/3 that I was able to convince the Hutchins folks into adding an electric motor. I've heard that someone at Pacific Seacraft literally shot a gun at one of their hulls!
