Com-Pac Sailors Lounge / Re: Launch Sites
Last post by MarshHen - March 20, 2025, 09:50:34 PMI have rented a mooring ball at John Pennekamp State Park several times over the years. Not sure of the cost now but back then it was pretty cheep. Along with good ramps, water, pumpout, etc, it buys you a secure spot for your truck and trailer while you explore the Keys.

Com-Pac Sailors Lounge / Re: Launch Sites
Last post by fried fish - March 20, 2025, 08:42:17 AMIn 2014, there was a nice public boat ramp and parking in Marathon for launching and stepping the mast. It is on the gulf side. After launch, I paid to store my truck and trailer at a boat storage lot a few blocks away, walkable distance.
One thing I didn't realize before my trip, there are limited bridges high enough to cross under to Atlantic side.
The seven mile bridge was the closest point.
Hope that helps. Have fun!
Check out the sunset bar next to the large fish market, I think it was Keys Fisheries. Fresh fish to bar restaurant. Stone crabs rock. Might be out of season for those.

Last post by crazycarl - March 17, 2025, 01:12:36 PMNo. I've been following "Sam Holmes Sailing". He sailed out of Oriental a few years back. I met him on the street a few days before he left. I also follow "Adventures of an Old Seadog".

Last post by passagesfromtheheart - March 17, 2025, 12:54:35 PMThanks for letting me know, Christopher!
So it looks like CLR is June 16th - June 20th, does that sound right?
Carl, I know you'd like to see an Apostle Islands meet-up after CLR, too, but closer to when CLR wraps up, from what I gathered?
The First Mate and I won't be able to get back up to Lake Superior until later in mid-July after our early June trip up there, so I surmise that this would probably be too late for you, Carl?
We have also tentatively scheduled time off for travel back up to Lake Superior in:
* early August
* mid-September
* the first week of October
Getting away, however, is dependent upon whether we can find care for the animals on our farm, however, which can be tricky.
Would any of these date ranges be doable for others? Please let me know what your thoughts are -- thanks!

Sailing Books and Movies / Re: Exploring Lake Superior on...
Last post by passagesfromtheheart - March 17, 2025, 12:41:25 PMGlad to hear that you enjoyed it! My eyes were like giant saucers the whole time I watched - it was really inspiring to me! I believe they sold the Siren 17 and now sail a Flow 19, from what I've ascertained from their more recent videos.
Carl, wondering, do you watch the videos of the guy who used to have a 17 ft Montgomery but recently bought a Flicka, I think? His channel is David Young, if I remember correctly, and he is sailing in the PNW.
