On August 15th, 2013 I was proud to make the first stand up paddle crossing of Western Lake Erie.  I paddled 35 miles in 12 hours.  My route was from Bay Point, OH to Point Pelee,Canada.  I was blessed with great weather with temps in the low 70′s and a warm lake temp of 70 degrees.   Another blessing was the great boat support crew of my girlfiend Jaime, Captain Stacy Acker and her friend Cherl.
I was proud to do this paddle for St. Baldrick’s Foundation.  Thanks to everyone for the generous support.  So far I have raised over $2400. Feel free to give a few bucks at www.stbaldricks.org/participants/mypage/654397/2013
