Turns out that wasn't correct at all. Findley Lake Marine was able to fix exactly what was wrong and no new parts were needed. It had something to do with an electronic component that needed to be adjusted along with the shift linkage. One of the staff explained in detail the situation I was in and how they were able to fix it. The boat runs better now than it ever has and almost feels like a brand new boat! I would recommend Finley Lake Marine to anyone for their boat's needs. The staff are absolutely wonderful!

Ed and Mary are the owners of Lake Effect Sailing, and they charter sails on Lake Erie for any and…read moreall skill levels. To be completely transparent, I am their niece and have been sailing with them for over 20 years. Sailing with them is my favorite activity when visiting during the summer. And now I love taking friends and my partner with me, often times for their first sailing experience. Here are a few things to know. Whatever your comfort level on the water, Captain Ed and Mary can meet your needs. If your interest is a relaxing sail with some snacks and the tranquility of the water, this is for you. If you're considering taking sailing up as a hobby and want to learn more, they have a wealth of experience and information to share with you. I suggest taking bionine if you're prone to sea sickness, and staying on the deck helps too. You can also walk around to the bow of the boat while sailing - don't forget your camera! Parking is free and available close to the deck. If you live in the Erie, PA area or are visiting from out of town, this is a must do. Treat yourself to a charter and spend time with some lovely people!!

I did a 5 p.m. narrated tour on a Sat. in July. I bought tickets at the booth. The tour guide was…read morenew and mixed up her words and left/right sometimes, but she seemed nice and knowledgeable. I initially sat at the front of the boat, but I could not hear the narration, so I moved to the back. The information was interesting and I enjoyed the views. The tour had a large, separate group in attendance. One person in their group distributed tickets one at a time when it was time to board, while people not in their group were already queued and waiting to board. It would have been better for those not in the group to have the group distribute tickets before boarding to not hold up the line. I went to the booth the previous evening, Friday, for the 8 p.m. sunset cruise. I was disappointed to learn there was only one ticket left, when we had two people. I regretted not booking online earlier (mostly because I didn't want to pay a ticket fee). I called earlier around 3 p.m. to confirm the departure time; it would have been nice if the person advised me to get a ticket early.

Three years ago, they finally found the perfect property - located in the cute little community of Lakewood - and, officially became the owners of multiple homes. Lake Chautauqua is surprisingly idyllic - set in the finger lakes of southwestern New York - it is surrounded by wineries and cute little communities like Bemis Point and Jamestown (which was the birthplace of Lucille Ball.) It's about 40 miles east of Erie, PA and 80 miles south of Buffalo; it is also easy to get to from Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New York City. The lake it's self is about ten miles long and is great for fishing, boating, tubing and other variety of water sports. The Chautauqua Institute is nearby - hosting concerts and a series of high profile speakers (Al Gore, Jane Goodall most recently) throughout the year. The community of Lilydale is host to a psychic community (and, fairy houses) which is renowned throughout the country - a little wacky, if you ask me, but very interesting to visit. Year round it is a beautiful place to live: the colors in the fall are amazing, winter brings lots of ice fishing, skiing and such, spring and summer are big tourist times here. Frankly, the only time I am truly relaxed is for the two weeks of vacation I get to take with my family (yes, I know I am a dork for liking to hang out with my family on vacation.) We sleep late, eat well, sit around on the boat or deck reading/playing cards/staring at the mote in the middle distance, drink wine and just chillax. It's wonderful.
