September 23, 2007 - Mentor, Ohio



We left Put-in-Bay early this morning to a beautiful Northeast breeze that made us remember our days of sailing and how great this weather would have been for it. The wind ended up going more to the East and blowing 10-12 knots and the waves by the time we got to Mentor Harbor were running 3-4 foot. We are docked tonight at the Mentor Harbor Yachting Center. The building is done in a spanish style that reminds us of the DYC. The layout of the club is interesting in that there is a harbor and picnic area across the entrance from Lake Erie that the members reach by a shuttle. We are awaiting the arrival tonight of our good friends, Carl and Marlene Bihlmeyer who will be with us for nine days - until we reach Brewerton NY (this town is right next to Syracuse). Tomorrow is calling for more nice weather - temps in the upper 70's and winds from the South ... What could be better....
