I am a sailing enthusiast who crews and bareboats. I am located on Lake Michigan, Great Lakes south of Chicago, IL. I am recently retired and interested in all sailing and cruising.
Current location:
Chicagi, IL
Destinations visited:
Barbados, BVIs, Jamaica
Looking to:
Crew and meet any sailors/cruisers who are on the Great Lakes, especially Lake Michigan.
I know this is kinda early but I am looking forward to spending the end of Jan 2011 in Key West for Race Week. Is there anyone out there who has contacts that might need a crew member with some race time and is great at doing what he is told?
Tom,
Thanks for your reply today, perhaps we might stay in touch, and share information as it may become available. I'm just back from New Zealand and will be picking up a "power vessel" at Michigan in July. Later in the summer will be at brothers (Delavan, WI) for a month or longer waiting to attend 50th class reunion at Chicago late SEP. Best to reply direct at: N9DXC@hotmail.com A sail trip to "Mac" would be a nice experience sometime this season!

Tom;
I'll be up your way later this summer and available to crew. Since your "retired" have you thought about a sail up to Macinaw Passage and the region?

I note there has been no activity on SeaKnots Beneteau 40/43 since early 2025.Is one of my favourite boating sites still alive and kicking?BilgolabandsSee More
