Good afternoon, friends and family! The weather this morning looked fairly scary, as winds were blowing around 20 mph at our anchorage behind the breakwater wall. We could see out into Lake Erie and it looked rather nasty. Not wanting to press our luck, we decided to seek shelter at […]

Good evening family and friends! This will be short, as we are exhausted. All repairs done and checked out, we waited a bit for the wind to die down some before heading out around 11:00 am. I made a less than graceful exit from the dock, bumping the stern against […]
