I love Put in Bay




When we were traveling to Put in Bay, I was concerned that there would not be a mooring ball available for us. Well, as you can see from the above picture, there was no need to worry. Each white dot is a mooring ball. Our boat is the one in the very center of the photo.




Put in Bay (PiB) is a real party spot with lots of places to eat and lots of open air bars. Some call it "Key West North" and it does have that kind of feel. There is a steady stream of tourists arriving on ferries and there is a lot of boating activity.




It is also famous for the Perry Monument, which recognizes his heroics in defeating the British in the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. It also stands a symbol of lasting peace between the U.S., Canada and Great Britain. The monument is 356 feet tall and is operated by the National Park Service. For $3 we got to ride the elevator to the top and enjoy a fantastic view of Lake Erie and the nearby island.
