Leaving Muskegon.

Explored (#99 on Wednesday, January 9, 2008). Thanks! Pretty boat. Leaving the harbor at Muskegon, Michigan. While I've seen, and photographed, most currently active lakes boats, this one had somehow escaped me until yesterday afternoon. We'd gone to Muskegon to walk the beach, and suddenly there she was, leaving the harbor. Sykes was the first American lakes boat completed after World War II, and was launched shortly after I was born. In many ways she's the prototype for a generation of lakers. And just plain gorgeous! Glad I finally found her.

Explored (111 on Wednesday, September 19, 2007). Thanks! (No longer in the top 500. So goes Explore.) Wilfred Sykes ( again ) and an array of pleasure craft about to clear the Muskegon breakwater. Sykes will shortly be turning south, likely for one of the steel mills in northern Indiana. This photo works quite well in the larger sizes ....
