Not all fun and games

We spent four nights at Put In Bay before moving on to Cedar Point. While we were at PIB we saw the entire island by walking (instead of renting a golf cart, which is what most people do) every morning for an hour. It is nice to stretch your legs when you live on a boat.

We went to the Boathouse Bar for dinner and saw Pat Dailey. He has been entertaining at PIB for 45 years. Also appearing with Pat was Ray Fogg. He is a young "Pat Dailey." Both were very good.




While we were there, we took advantage of the great weather to get some boat work done. This is Laurie varnishing the teak. We decided this picture represents the difference between vacationing on a boat and living aboard. It is a tedious job, but it looked good when we were done.

From PIB, it was on to Cedar Point. Daughter Hayley and son-in-law Dan2, drove down and met us there on Sunday and we "did the park" and did it right. The weather was great and the crowds were light and we were able to ride all the big rides, with a minimum of standing in line. It was a great day and a great way to spend some time together before saying goodbye.




Monday, we woke up to pouring rain. We delayed leaving until it let up and then headed east to Lorain, Ohio.





By the time we got in and anchored, the sun came out and we were treated to a nice sunset over the breakwall.

Lorain is an industrial town and not particularly attractive from the lake, but it was a good place to stop for the night. Tomorrow, it is on to Cleveland.
