I sailed Charles Mill quite often out of the sailing club when I raced a 
dingy.  It is a nice lake for wind but shallow with some old barn foundations to 
look out for.  You might want to check out the club, too.  It was a very 
relaxed group when I was visiting.

Look me up in Cleveland sometime if you want to see how well the Rhodes22 
handles on the big pond.
