Looking to Teach my Step Son.

Would like to introduce my oldest step son who graduates high school in May to the world of sailing. I have owned a 22 ft Oday, but it was before his time and I currently am putting it back together. (Abandoned by the ex after she insisted that she get it in the divorce.)

We live in NW Ohio and my experience is mostly inland lakes though I grew up in Jersey and do have some bay time.

I am looking for a cruise on the Great Lakes.

Hope someone can help me out!

Re: Looking to Teach my Step Son.

Father/son sailing is great. My dad and I had a standing cruise date on his boat for years.

However, the best way my dad ever taught me to sail was turn me over to one of his sailing buddies for the summer as crew. The father/son thing can just get in the way when it is time to learn.

When my wife asked me to teach her to sail, I sent her to Annapolis Sailing School to get her going.

Look around for some Wed. night races and get him on as crew on a boat.

Fair winds,
ODB
