You are invited to look, click, and explore this site, and the water wonderland called Lake Ontario. This Web site has gone through many changes, from a small personal look at Rochester and the Genesee River, to my sailing experiences around the lake.


Sailing and Getting Started

The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle newspaper has a couple articles in Sunday's paper.  The first is "A world of difference out on the water". A story written by D&C reporter Leo Roth about Keith Burhans.

"Keith Burhans is Rochester's champion sailor, U.S. Paralymbian and all-around good guy, a man who takes equal pleasure in racing with fellow experts or teaching newbies the ropes."

You can read the D&C article by clicking here.

The second article on the page is titled "A desire, basic knowledge can propel you across the water". This is a story on getting started in sailing, listing the Rochester area sailing clubs.

Drinking and sailing don't mix

Two boaters were caught drinking while sailing today in the Prince Edward County area.

Provincial police say a marine unit nabbed the men in separate incidents.

A 73-year-old from Picton, was issued a ticket for operating a boat underway with an open container of liquor. It carries a fine of $215.

A 51-year-old man from Pittsford, N.Y., also was also charged with the same offence.

A 53-year-old Napanee man also was ticketed for operating a small boat without a fire extinguisher.

Police warn that they’re now on the prowl regularly on area waterways looking for safety violations.
