Our friends Jim Jelsone and wife Frances (Elaine) took part in the Port Huron to Mac race for many years. They kept their boat at the Detroit Edison boat dock which I think is down the street from Baypoint. He loved sailing, but last I heard their sailboat was sold and no more sailing as they enjoy retirement down in the Carolinas. Both Denby HS graduates, Elaine was very close to my late wife Sharon, both grew up on Camden St. in Detroit near Gunston & Harper Ave and attended DPS Macomb Elementary, the same school that Sonny Bono attended as a child!
This is a wonderful update. Edison Boat Club closed in 2019 after 105 years in operation, sold to Stellantis for expansion of its plant. The site was purchased So glad to know your friends have retired happily in the Carolinas.

That's one dedicated sailor. Thanks for enlightening us on the big boy boats!
I truly believe you get more done, more respect, and more cooperation without shouting.
Peace

Good one Phoebe
Thank you, Paul.
I had never spoken with Ron Sherry and I heard so many good things.
I forward all your sailing articles to my sailor friend. Thank you.
Thank YOU, Joe.
I learn so much and I love hearing from sailors — new and old — who share their experiences and wisdom. #FairWinds
