Penultimate day - in sight of local landmarks

Last night we anchored by downtown Cleveland.  For some reason we weren't sure if we could anchor where we did, partially because we were right next to a small regional airport.  We were also right next to the Coast Guard station and sometimes they like to exercise their perceived authority.  But mainly we were concerned because we were a Michigan boat in Ohio waters.  Nobody said anything and we had a decent nights sleep until about 5:30 when the first corporate jets started taking off.  We were under way by about 7:00, a late start for us recently. 

We've sailed/motored this stretch of Lake Erie at least 6 times in the past so Sue got bored looking at water that she had already seen.  She got out the metal polish and cleaned the rust stains off all the stainless deck hardware.  One item checked off our "To do" list, and we're not even home yet.  Right now we are anchored within sight of the fabled Put-In-Bay, Ohio on South Bass Island.  Tomorrow should see us back in a friends dock at North Cape.  We'll do a final SPOT position, and in the next few days or week will probably have a trip/blog summation.  If any of you have questions this would be the time to ask them.

Have you seen the high temps forecast here for the coming week? You might want to beat it back to Florida. Probably cooler there. Just a thought...
