Lake Erie Time

With tropical sunsets and clear blue-green water, Lake Erie can look like the Caribbean!

With our radar arch reattached and after nearly a week in Buffalo filled with family, fun, fireworks, chores, errands, chicken wings, beef on weck and waiting for a weather window,  we have officially entered the Great Lakes. Like LeBron, we are Cleveland bound, with a stop last night at the Erie Yacht Club and tonight at Geneva Sate Park. The lake is calm, dotted with fishing boats, and Caribbean green. It has been a beautiful and uneventful passage across Lake Erie from New York to Pennsylvania and now Ohio -- other than a visit from the Coast Guard about an hour ago.  Boardings are always a bit nerve wracking  but fortunately Ham didn't growl at them and our inspection went well.

Here are a few photos from the past week:
