Body
Dave has been sailing for over 50 years and currently lives near Midland, Ontario. Since 1990, Dave and his wife have cruised Lakes Huron, Erie and Superior, and have gained considerable knowledge of Georgian Bay, the North Channel and Lake Superior.
An avid canoeist in Northern Ontario, Dave started sailing at age 13 on "day sailers," and crewed on racing boats on Lake Simcoe in Barrie for a number of years. He purchased his first cruising sailboat in his early 30's. He has cruised extensively on Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and the North Channel on a Paceship 29 and then on his Aloha 34. Dave has since moved to a Hunter 410, sailing Georgian Bay, the North Channel and Lake Superior.
Upcoming classes
This webinar will take you from the Sault Locks at the lake's eastern end, west along the lake's Michigan and Wisconsin southern shores, up Minnesota's northwest lakeshore, and finally along Ontario's breathtaking north and east wilderness shores before closing the circle in Whitefish Bay and the Sault. Lake Superior may be vast, but when understood, it provides unique and breathtaking cruising, historic destinations, interesting ports of call, pristine waters and secluded sailing and anchorages. Updated for 2025 and presented by Dave Carr.
Wilderness cruising at its best! Scattering of Islands, boreal forest, towering shorelines, abundance of wildlife, protected anchorages, parks with hiking trails, great fishing, secluded anchorages, and many areas of interest. This section of Lake Superior is worth the experience. Updated for 2025 and presented by Dave Carr.
