We'd like to introduce you to a few of our writers:


Eric Grubb
Webmaster
Licensed Master

Eric grew up around boats, and traded summers on board his parents' Sea Rays for many man-hours of swabbing the decks. He grew up in the little town of Sewickley, Pennsylvania, home of the the Dashields Locks and Dam and the USCG Cutter Osage. His family would frequently navigate the Ohio, Allegheny and Beaver Rivers, later moving the family cruiser to Lake Erie.

As a commercial pilot, Eric is currently qualified as a Certified Flight Instructor and flies wide-body jets for a major airline. He has owned recreational boats ranging from PWCs to ski boats, day cruisers, and most recently, a flybridge convertible that he keeps in a local marina.

Eric is a USCG Licensed Master with a Commerical Tow Assistance rating. Eric conceived the idea for this website while searching for information to help him become a safer and more knowledgable local boater.


Capt. George East
Contributer

George East has been boating since he was seventeen, has had other interests including flying (FAA licensed pilot) car racing, and snow skiing, but he has always remained an ardent boater. After earning a USCG captain's license some 25 years ago, George spent time as a delivery and demonstration captain for one of the major motoryacht manufacturers.

During this same period, while he was building a successful construction and ready mix concrete company, George still found time to own and operate several boats including two Chris-Crafts, a Gulfstar, and two Hatterases.

Fast forward to the present to find George retired from his businesses, devoting all of his energy to boats and the boating industry. George currently holds a 100 Ton USCG Master's license. His specialties are classic Chris-Craft and Hatteras yachts. George instructed with the U.S. Power Squadron for 15 years, and is now a broker with Paradigm Yacht Sales in Louisville, Kentucky and Cape Coral, Florida.
