The Adventures of Lake Shark
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 27 ธ.ค. 2020
Catalina 22 Sailing from Redwing to Wabasha Minnesota on the Mississippi!
When your teenage son asks for a father son sailing trip you don't hesitate! We sailed around 60 miles in the 3 days down the Mississippi. Not everything went as planned and the bugs were a challenge at times but it was an adventure for sure.
While I would launch at a different ramp to start the trip and choose a different dock to avoid the bugs I would do it again. The sunsets, smiles, and memories made will last a life time. So I hope you enjoy this latest adventure of Lakeshark!

Just a quick time lapse of rigging the boat for launch to help my fellow sailors. Total time is about 30 min to be ready for the water.

Apostle Islands 2021: A Father Son Adventure
มุมมอง 3553 ปีที่แล้ว
In August of 2021 my youngest son and I headed up to the Apostle Islands for 5 days and 4 nights of sailing, camping, and exploring. It was a fantastic time with the perfect weather. We swam, fished, hiked, and explored some of the towns around the Apostle Islands and Bayfield. In the end we sailed just over 60 miles on Lake Superior, hiked dozens of miles, visited 5 different Islands (Madeline...

People often ask what it’s like to race Nationals in a Catalina 22. Here are some highlights from the 7th and final race in silver fleet aboard Lake Shark. We took 6th place out of 9 boats. This was the 50th anniversary of the Catalina 22 association. Next years race will be in Fort Walton Florida. Will you be there?
Back on the water! April 3rd 2021 Lake Pepin
มุมมอง 213 ปีที่แล้ว
Lakeshark is officially back on the water! This was the earliest we have ever been on the lake. Ice out was only a week or so prior and the docks at the launch ramps have not even been installed yet. Everyone stayed safe, wearing proper PFD’s and moving with caution around the deck. The water is still cold but the air temps were in the 70s. Today’s goal was to tune the rigging on our 1987 Wing ...
It’s spring and The Lakeshark is Back! Catalina 22 Wing Keel

The winter cover is off, the rig is assembled, and the ice is off the lake! It’s time to get the boat ready to sail. The Catalina 22 nationals are only a few months away in Pensacola! Let’s do this.
Sailing on Lake Pepin 2021
มุมมอง 3363 ปีที่แล้ว
April 3rd sail. This was the earliest day we have ever been on he lake. Ice out was only a week or two prior and none of the docks were installed at the ramps yet. Everyone wore proper PFD’s at all times and stayed safe as we sailed out of Lake City to test various rig tunes. By adjusting the standing rigging we were able to significantly improve both our tacking angle and speed. Hopefully we w...
Shouldof given the boy the Tiller. Love your winch mount umbrella! How did you manage that?
Intro, tension numbers. 31:47 mast, forestay, backstay. (My Note to self) Thanks for the video . I pleasure sail (single hand) a Catalina 22, have never raced, but a lot of this is in alignment with what I've picked up, plus intuition(flat boat!) I have a buddy, (6'8")single hands a precision 21 and he thinks sailing is his whole body wailing on that poor tiller and showing his keel. We each have fun, just different ways.
Doug is the current fastest most efficient Catalina 22 sailor in the fleet. He knows what works and what does not work. I am so glad that he allowed this dockside chat to be recorded. Once you have a basic understanding of rig tune this seminar helps fill in the rest of the information so that wether racing or cruising you can do so efficiently. Even when I am cruising it seems like I am always beating to weather for the next anchorage. Being able to get there fast with minimal heel means more time around the campfire on the beach and more comfort for the crew.
Anchor farther offshore for less bugs! Greetings from Florida.
Good to hear from you. Off shore may be a bit hard with the river only being about 100 yards wide in redwing. I do miss the ocean sailing days though. Much less tacking and those sunsets are indescribable.
The difference Adventure and Ordeal, is Attitude!
So true. First time I heard that phrase spoken it was from Bob B from Latitudes and attitudes on Catalina Island at 2 harbors.
Thanks for sharing this information. Cheers.
Madeline and Bayfield any time of year is fun , good job .. my dad would be proud of you !! We sailed around those islands alot . You had some great weather.. good call . Thanks for a north woods post 👍
It was truly a great trip. Can't wait to do it again. Still haven't visited all the Islands or Lighthouses yet!
@@Lakeshark Stockton island nice as anything... nice walking rocks facing open lake , the hike is great , blueberries on the other side of the island from the popular dock / pier , lots of rafting off if your not on the hook , usuallya few people tho . South twin old owner in the 70s would let us anchor there and go ashore and putz around , nice island .he had an airstrip on it . Madeline where the state park is has got a nice trail , we snowshoed it with deer all around couple years ago along with the ice caves , raspberry has an little safe beach anchorage , dont know about trails on it ..now probably tho Hermit had that guy living there eons ago . Oak island was a trip . Long island was cool , we went there once. Bit shallow , good call , cool hang. .we had a contest 29 '11 " sloop and charged around like you did , really enjoyed that .we had an irwin 23 on lake peppin and graduated up to the marina slip with the contest , saw you were wing and wing there , and 7 knots was flyin , your a good sailer . Some of islands i haven't been on but devils is nice to do the caves in a dink, was that back of devils with the steps ? I know we tied off at the c.g.station , rock island used to have a restaurant and a junkyard with a few 40s and 50s looking cars and decent dock back then .awsome !! definitely do it again.
Hey! Thanks for sharing! That was awesome! I can't think of a better way for a father and son to spend time together. I'm actually quite jealous now! 🙂😁👍 Just got a Catalina 22, looking forward to some sailing.
Glad you enjoyed the video and its great to have another Catalina 22 out there. If you're ever interested in sailing with others check out the Catalina 22 National Sailing Assiociation. There is even a plan for a big Catalina 22 Cruise in the Apostles this year. www.catalina22.org
whats with the horrible music nice video tho
LOL. It was one of my first attempt at using the GoPro software. Most of the video was auto made with the app. Not the best but hey it sure was fun and did not take long to edit. Perhaps some day I’ll actually make a longer video of the rest of the event with more pictures 😎. Thanks for watching though.
It's a shame we can only "like" this video one time. Way to go Lake Shark and crew!
What a lucky man you are! If I could have such an adventure with any one of my four children, I could die today and life would have been complete. Alas, I sail my Cat 22 alone on a very small lake. I was born and raised on Lake Erie, living now in Idaho. Maybe it's time I trailer the C22 back to my home.
One of the many advantages to the Catalina 22 is its ability to be trailered to various bodies of water. Our little boat has been such a blessing for our family and an affordable getaway. This year alone we have trailered more than 4,000 miles and explored many lakes and bays.
Beautiful video of some priceless memories!
Truly a trip I will never forget and one perhaps my son will share with his children some day. Thank you for your kind words.
Iy was good to meet the Lake Shark crew at Nationals , your awsome. PS. Nice hat!
It was nice to meet everyone as well.
Nice job, Land Shark!
It was a great time. Thank you for the wonderful article and pictures for the Manbrace and the Catalina 22 National Association.
She's one beautiful boat!
Thank you. We sure do enjoy our boat every year.
Looks like a great time was had by all. Glad to see I'm not the only one who sails in his socks!
It was an awesome day for sure. And the socks added just enough warmth for my feet though they were not the best choice for being in deck😂.
@@Lakeshark I hear you! I wear them to keep the sun from burning me up, but put the Sperry's on when I leave the cock pit.
