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
