Sailing across Lake Erie from Cleveland

I've had my 1985 Ericson 30+ (hull 685) for two seasons now. I finally had the chance to sail it across Lake Erie. I've posted a few pictures on a site here: woolamaloo.com/ontario.
Here are three of my favorite pictures from the cruise.

Looks like great fun, and you should have many years of great sailing ahead.

By the way, on your site you mention that Woolamaloo is just a silly made up name from the Python sketch, but it's actually a district of Sydney, NSW, Australia, just SE of the Opera House and Circular Quay. The correct spelling is Woolloomooloo, but the locals do indeed pronounce it "Woolamaloo", (rhymes with Kalamazoo) which is a bit odd - but then they pronounce "Quay" as "Key". And besides, saying wool loo moo loo fast is really hard!

Thanks for the encouragement.

I got the spelling for "Woolamaloo" from the actual Monty Python script. I'm glad they shortened it. I could have never used "Woolloomooloo." That's too silly - even though it's real.
