Cleveland

We made it to Cleveland and we’re staying at the Edgewater Yacht Club.

We were planning on leaving Tuesday, There was a perfect weather window to get us to the Wellington canal starting Tuesday. But, we’ve decided to push our departure off until Thursday.

Why? There are several reasons:

The perfect blow scheduled for Tuesday changed. Now it looks like Thursday will be the big blow out of the west.

Our niece will be flying into Cleveland on Tuesday and we wanted to meet up with her and have lunch.

But the biggest reason is I’m tired. We’ve been going non-stop with the boat since the beginning of May. I need a few days to rest. This is a lot of work and I constantly feel the push to move on. This morning I started researching the Erie Canal.

The yacht club we’re staying at is great. The price is right and the facilities are top notch. Nothing is walkable but we’ve been riding our bikes everywhere. This morning we made a 6 mile trek to Whole Foods to re-provision.

This afternoon we took the dingy up the Cuyahoga River to do some site seeing. So many beautiful bridges to see. On the way back we tied up at a place called Shooters to have a well earned beer.

Here are some pictures from our dingy trip:
