- December 01, 2007by Murph6/10/2007 Bill and daughter Sarah Paviol brought Nino Forlini with them for the final sail of Kelly III under my ownership! The new owner takes possession June 16. Bill, Nino and Sarah (9 years old) took their respective bunks aboard and settled in on Friday night. Sarah got first choice (since...
- December 01, 2007by Murph5/30/2007 Two weeks ago, we had a terrific turnout for getting Kelly III fully prepared for sailing. Jack van Arsdale, Bob Zimmerman, and Whitney Stewart made the effort necessary to replace the tiller head, only to discover that Catalina Direct provided parts with a hole drilled in the wrong...
- December 01, 2007by Murph9/18/2006 Labor Day Weekend was intended to be a longer trip with plans for one or even 2 stops in Canada. With the remnants of Hurricane Ernesto blowing through, our plans for an overnight passage or 2 went with the wind. Keith Otto, Troy Cain, Jack van Arsdale and I had a quiet dinner Friday...
- December 01, 2007by Murph8/22/2006 This past weekend we were hoping to sail to Port Dover, but the rain was too intense. Jack, Bob, Jim and I sailed through the rain, but stayed in the bay and soon anchored in Marina Lake for lunch. We spoke via radio with a visiting ketch, but without the dinghy (we left it at the dock)...
- December 01, 2007by Murph8/2/2006 This past weekend Warren Stewart, his son Whitney, Jack van Arsdale and I had a terrific sail to Port Dover. The wind at 8:15am on Saturday was a little on the light side, about 5 – 8 knots. We decided to put up all the sail Kelly III has: Twin Genoas and full Mainsail. My homemade whisker...
- December 01, 2007by Murph7/15/2006 On July 8 we had beautiful weather, although little wind for sailing until late at night. Since the motor is on the blink (a new fuel pump is on order) we SAILED FROM THE SLIP!! That’s right, the wind was light but steady out of the SW, so we sailed Kelly III directly from her slip into...
- December 01, 2007by Murph6/26/2006 Memorial Day found Kelly III with crew of Keith Otto, his daughter, Amanda and her friend, Tom. We had to motor almost the entire way to Port Dover over an “oily sea”. We were out of sight of land for several hours on both Saturday and Sunday, due to the extremely thick haze. Still a...
- December 01, 2007by Murph5/8/2006 What a great weekend! It was cool in temperature, but hot in accomplishments! Jack van Arsdale, Mark Johnson, Warren (Guy), Whitney & Justine Stewart, Troy Cain, and Jim Clark all came to Erie for the mast stepping and splashing of Kelly III. After stepping the mast we thought we...
- December 01, 2007by Murph7/22/2005 Last weekend our plans to sail to Conneaut, Ohio, got changed by the weather. Instead of facing a long, hot day of motoring, we decided to sail off Erie and were encouraged by Tim and Amanda Sample. They are budding students of sail and were excited to learn more. Well, they got more than...
- December 01, 2007by Murph7/6/2005 For this past July 4 weekend, our Crew consisted of Troy Cain (Skipper/Owner of Persistent), Jim Clark (Skipper/Owner of Maggie’s Mate), and Rob Matthews (Skipper/Owner of an unnamed 30 foot live-aboard trailer). The wind was blowing 20 – 25 knots out of the west with 3 – 5 foot waves....
