In Geneva State Marina now

We left Middle Bass Island at 8:00, the 27th, under party cloudy skies and a mild chop. We saw the most beautiful cloud and sun that Dale called "Biblical". Maybe God does watch over sailors.

We made it to Vermillion, Ohio by noon. It is a quaint town with a 1920's drug store, Hart's, that has an authentic soda fountain. Our slip was across from a lovely neighborhood and upriver from other dockage. Here are shots from our slip. On the 29th we saw this beautiful rainbow after an afternoon storm.

The lighthouse and Maritime Museum were a block from our boat. Oliver loved the beach here.

From there we headed to Cleveland, the east side on the 29th. Spotting a large city from the water is rather cool. We stayed at the Edgewater Basin by the yacht club. We were tied up near a gas dock, but had a beautiful view at night.

We left the next morning to haze over Cleveland and only a mild chop. It was our 30th anniversary!

This was our hitchhiker. I was putting screens up and looked down and saw what we think is a lamprey stuck to our boat. Dale used the boat hook to pry him off. YUCK!

We had some nice sailing time, then the winds died. Later, the winds picked up and storms moved in. The rain stayed onshore luckily. The lighthouse picture was when we passed Fairport.

By afternoon, we made it to Geneva State Marina. It is connected to a big State Park. Oliver has lots of trails to discover, so we are here until August 1st.

Off to Erie, PA tomorrow.
