- Carver 450 Voyager Pilothouse
Many thanks to all who share their thoughts and experiences on this forum. I have learned enough to know how little we know! But also enough to encourage our dream of boating the Great Lakes.
In July we purchased a used Carver 450 Voyager Pilothouse. We hired a captain to assist us with the trip to our home port from the Saginaw River to Lake St. Clair. Our family (across Michigan, Arizona, California) were able to see us travel the St. Clair River via webcams at a few locations. The profile pic is from one of those cameras. It made an exciting trip even more amazing!
Since then we have been enjoying day cruises and learning her systems. It has been intimidating and exciting. Mostly exciting.
Friday she will come out of the water for indoor heated storage. Very sad about this but we have pushed the season as long as we can. All winter long I will be soaking up the cruising stories and other chit chat on this forum to feed our dream. Looking forward to some longer cruises along the Michigan coastline next year.
