Cruising Lake Ontario's Southern Shore

Body
The South Shore of Lake Ontario is rich with history, exciting cities, quaint villages and numerous ports to explore. Join Heidi and Jim Egensperger as they guide you from the west end of Lake Ontario at Youngstown, New York to the eastern extremity at Clayton, New York. This webinar is sure to spark your interest in the rarely cruised section of our beautiful Great Lakes.

This session will be an overview on cruising the south shore of Lake Ontario, including harbor guidance, chart overviews and lots of great pictures.  From the Niagara River to the St. Lawrence Seaway, we will provide a broad spectrum of information on all the usable ports along the south shore including anchorages, available dockage and local attractions.

Jim and Heidi Egensperger
Jim and Heidi Egensperger began boating in NE Ohio in the early 1970s, primarily as crew on a number of different sailboats on the south shore of Lake Erie. The ensuing years saw them racing and cruising in a wide range of locations and boats including all the Great Lakes (plus Lake Champlain), Trent-Severn and Erie canals, Hudson River, St. Lawrence River, East Coast of North America from Newfoundland to Florida and Bermuda, chartering in the Windward Islands, the San Juan Islands of Puget Sound and the Whitsunday Islands of Queensland, Australia. They have cruised and casually raced their Catalina 30, Touch of Grey, since 2015. They are members of the GLCC, also since 2015, and participated in GLCC Rallies, Rendezvous’ and the Cleveland Boat Show GLCC booth. They are currently Deputy Port Captains of Mentor Harbor, E-8, on Lake Erie.
