On the way back, be sure to stop at Romp's Dairy Dock for some of the best soft-serve cones, sundaes, and flurries in Ohio. You won't be disappointed!

VYC is one of the oldest clubs in the area, I think its even pushing 80! Thankfully, it still looks great. The clubhouse is beautifully maintained and is a gorgeous event space. Some important things to note: there's no private pool or private restaurant at VYC, like most local area clubs. VYC is all about the quiet atmosphere, and its better that way. The indoor/outdoor seating areas of the clubhouse are great places to read, have a glass of wine and just enjoy the boats on the channel. VYC remains untouched by rowdy guests and excessive noise, which is a gem in itself. VYC embraces the vintage Commodore classiness of old-school Yacht Clubs. For guest docking, you can spend time at the VYC if your vessel is under 80 feet drawing 10 feet or less. Guests can have dock spots on the river wall or in temporarily vacant slips. If you're not a member, but looking for a charming town to dock and visit, definitely keep VYC on your shortlist!

My wife and I took a sailing class with Captain Ron at Harbor North about a year ago. DO NOT TAKE A…read moreCLASS THERE! Ron was more interested in telling people how he was getting paid to teach people how to sail than actually teaching people how to sail. We really learned very little during the course about actual sailing. We did learn that Captain Ron likes going to expensive places for lunch and having his students pay the tab. We did not receive our Basic Cruising stickers for our logbook as they were out, and they never sent our info to US Sailing. I just found this out the other day. I emailed and called about a dozen times in the past year and still have nothing. Captain Ron also showed us how to destroy the navigation lights on his boat while pulling into a slip. Not sure I wanted to learn that. Overall it was a terrible experience.

Captain Ron accompanied us from Huron to Sandusky. My husband & I learned so much from Ron even though we were just "tagging along" for the ride. We felt so comfortable sailing with him and we very much enjoyed hearing his sailing life experiences. We'd highly recommend him if you want to learn to truly sail.

We slept on the ground in sleeping bags. There were a lot of people making noise until about 12:30am, playing music, singing, talking and yelling. The showers were not great but fine for a campground. I went to bed around 2am when everything had died down. Around 7am, some banging started like there might be a shooting range nearby. In the morning, I explored the camping area and got some exercise. So much better than a hotel gym! I ran around, shot some hoops, and bounced on their "jumping pillow" which was exactly what I needed before a day of driving. And it was so much cheaper than a hotel room.

We purchased a new boat from this marina. Unfortunately, the owner is so sloppy and careless with…read morehis products that the boat was damaged when we got it. He stored it outside and uncovered. The inside was filled with dirt and leaves. He'd indicated he would have it detailed before we picked it up, but the boat was still filthy. We have been trying for over year to get the damaged elements of the boat replaced, but the owner refuses to take responsibility. The boat also has some issues that need to be repaired through Crownline. The owner provides no assistance in this regard, either. He got our money, and that was it. In retrospect, we should have known better. The boat yard resembles a junk yard. You will be best served never to purchase anything here.
