Cruise to Erie Pa and Presque Isle (Pics)

Last Thursday (8/13) we left on the 4:30 bridge for run to Erie Pa. (43nm). We were joined by another couple and it was their first extended stay on a boat. They loved it and all went well.

Entering the harbor of Erie Pa and Presque Isle.

We decided to anchor overnight Thursday night. Lake Erie doesn't offer very many anchorages so this was our first time on the hook over night. We enjoyed it.

The anchorage…

A couple of converted Tugs from and made in Port Dover On

The Interlude on the hook…

Friday we went straight across the bay to Commodore Perry Yacht Club

Saturday we went for local cruise and got pictures of our local tall ship the US Brig Niagara on one of it's day sails.

The admiral making fun of me because I cross my arms all the time…we were at the 3 Dog Night concert in downtown Erie. Those guys are getting old!!

We have been to Presque Ilse quite a few times - it is over a 100 mile run for us, over 10 hours at our trawler cruise speed. Great anchorage, we love it there.

We will be there a couple times this year. It will be our first stop on our 2-week cruise in July where we will ultimately end up in the Finger Lakes. We also plan on going back in Aug for Erie Days again. For Erie Days I think we will do the same, anchor Thursday night and spend Friday and Saturday at Commodore Perry YC
