We had leisurely morning before saying goodbye to Rich who departed a couple of days early to be home for his anniversary. A morning thunderstorm gave way to hazy but sunny skies and given the fact neither Matt nor I are big roller coaster fans, we opted to try the adjacent Soak City water park. I have always been a fan of the lazy rivers and the park offered two - Main Stream and Renegade River, both of which we enjoyed as well as a run down one of the many water slides. Following a typical amusement park lunch, we settled into our lounges for a little R&R. We were lamenting the fact that unlike the amusement park, there was no beer to be found anywhere when Matt noticed a sign reading Adult Swim Up Bar. Needless to say, we decided to relocate from Tadpole Town to the Bubble’s Bar for the remainder of our visit.
Around 4:30 we hustled back to meet our dinner guests for the evening, Jon and Tim, who came in a 52’ Cruisers the short distance from Marblehead, OH. It was there I purchased the Latitude Adjustment (we have come full circle back to OH). Jon sold me the boat and Tim was the captain who I hired to “teach me the ropes” when we ran the boat from OH to MI last October to position it for these summer trips. Tim reminds me of Don Lombardi, a salt of the earth kind of guy willing to do anything for you. Naturally we had a few drinks on the aft deck while catching up and then we walked the short distance to Bay Harbor, a restaurant offering casual fine dining and which did not disappoint. After Tim and Jon left, Matt and I watched some TV before heading to bed.
