September 24, 2007 - Erie, PA



Today was a picture perfect day to cruise from Mentor, Ohio to Erie, PA. What a day to introduce Carl and Marlene to the trawlering life!!!. We had offshore winds that were under 10 knots all day and waves under one foot.

We are docked at the Erie Yacht Club for the night. This club is located on the Presque Isle Bay which is one of the best (if not the largest) natural harbors on the Great Lakes. It measures 4.5 miles by 1.5 miles. They are able to hold their sailing regattas on this natural bay - no matter what the weather is on Lake Erie. The Club here is very friendly and accommodating with a great harbor and clubhouse.

We are watching the weather as we plan to get up early and head for Buffalo. The weather is supposed to have rain and thunderstorms tomorrow evening, so our plan is to get off the lake beore this hits.
