High Flight #299 has been a member of our family since 1984. She was manufactured in NC in 1981. Her first owner named her Thunder Cloud, not for the cloud but for his family?s favorite ice cream concoction, famous in Harbor Springs Michigan. When I went to the bank to sign the loan papers, they told me I had to rename her right there & then. My wife & I had not given any thought to a name so we had to think fast. Being a pilot & ex Air Force, High Flight, a poem well known to pilots, expressing the beauty, thrill & serenity of flight, in my mind, had remarkable similarities to sailing. Thus the name.

We mostly day sail her on Lake Michigan and cruise for a week or two in July or August. The younger generation insist we race in the local beer can series & I go along for the ride & the camaraderie.

Gee... nice boat. Welcome to the forums!

21 seasons and that's the first I'm hearing the story of the naming? Snicker
Glad you made it here...
