We aare spending our last night on The Great Lakes, and we couldn't have found a better place to do it! The bay is very shallow and I had called both the yacch club and the muni-marina to get some info. In both cases, no one was ther to answer my questions. We cautiously entered the break wall and found a place to anchor. Within a couple hours, people from the yacht club and the municipal came out and offered us a free night at their respective marinas. As long as we were hooked and happy, we decided to stay where we are, but the offer of hospitality was truely appreciated. I would recomend this place to all who may travel these waters!. I neglected to mention that south of Erie, PA, we were boarded by US Customs. They did a search of the bilge, under the bed in the V-berth and most other places, checked passports and boat documentation. They then went back aboard their boat and after checking all documents were in order, gave us the OK to leave. They were friendly and courtious, so it was a pleasant experience. All systems on the boat are working well, and hopefully will continue to do so. Tomorrow we'll make the last leg to Buffalo, NY, through the locks to Towanda where we have a reservation for a week in a marina, The kids and granddaughter will be flying in Tuesday for the 4th at Niagra Falls.....Sounds like a great time to me!
