Erie, the day of the Lakers and home again.

After a busy day of shopping we had a fabulous sunset.
Set out the next morning after dropping the car off at 7:30am. We started out with a good wind and sailed out of the bay and towards the Point and the wind dropped. Back to motor sailing again! As we approached the Point we had to cross the shipping lanes with 5 Lakers within sight. We managed to weave between them.




After rounding the point we could see 2 Lakers in at Nanicoke ...
... and were greeted by 2 more, anchored in Long Point Bay. The wind picked up and we still motor sailed in, beating the storm as it rained just after we had docked.

What a great trip; fun times with other sailors, seeing the U.S. side of the lake, visiting little communities and big cities and sailing in between. The weather was kind to us on the return journey although we made some travel decisions based on the forecast. Most of all I am grateful to Paul and Sharon for letting me share the trip with them.
