Mark Gagyi

As a teenager Mark Gagyi learned sailing on small lakes in southwest Ohio. Much latter when he and his family moved next to Lake Erie, the lure of that deep water was too much. They soon bought their first keel boat and never looked back. Since then Mark has logged thousands of miles exploring his home lake and our four other wonderful Great Lakes

While Mark has made many trips sailing out of Lake Erie to the upper Great Lakes and even one special trip down the Welland to circle Lake Ontario, much of Mark's cruising has been in his home lake, Erie. Those wanderings have taken him from Buffalo to Toledo and to almost every port between.  From the Lake Erie Islands, to beach towns like Port Stanley, to often passed by ports like Burwell and Barcelona, Mark has managed to find his way into almost every port along Lake Erie's shores.

 

For Mark a special part of cruising is time spent in the galley. With the help of family and friends Mark has collected or created a stack of great cruising recipes and assorted ideas that can turn any boat's dockside galley into a first class cruising galley. 

 

Join Mark for his webinars Cruising Lake Erie and Cooking and Cruising on the Great Lakes.
