Boating

Boating is my favorite hobby. I grew up on Lake Erie in SE Michigan and began boating earlier than I can remember. My father and grandfather were also boaters and influenced my love for the water. I have been boating for more than 40 years and had my first boat at six years old. Although power boating is my first choice. I am a certified master sailor and have been the captain of 55' sailboat and crewed on sailboats as large as 100 feet. In 1990, with three friends (plus other members), we started the SunSeeker's Boating Club. This club has a great bunch of members. So devoted, they have not only made the club a very recognized club on the Great Lakes but, this year they opened our first clubhouse. I am fortunate to have my wife "Marianne", who loves the water and boating as much as I do. Boating and being on the water is my favorite past time.
Jimmy Buffet's song "Son of a son of a sailor" applies.

boating on the gulf, beach hopping, fishing or just cruising around.
