After another leisurely morning, Matt and I left for the final destination for this segment, Cleveland, OH. Since our trip to Mackinac, the seas have been very smooth, even flat calm in some instances. I noticed in checking the morning weather, things would be different today because of increased winds and the shallower depths of Lake Erie. While not has bad as the Mackinac voyage, we faced 3’ head seas the length of the run reminding me the Great Lakes are not really lakes.
We were originally scheduled to stay at a public marina but Captain Tim had a contact at the Lakeview Yacht Club and suggested that would be a much better/safer place for me to leave the boat for the 18 days between trips. We arrived, checked in and had lunch on the deck of the Club where several members told us we would find the club the friendliest on Lake Erie. That certainly seemed to be the case. We decided to save our touring for tomorrow and instead relaxed and caught up on work on the aft deck as it was yet another beautiful day. Before we knew it, the time was almost 8:30 and we headed out to the Little Italy section of downtown Cleveland. According to Travel Advisor, Mia Bella offered the best Italian food and was the #11 highest rated restaurant in the city. It did not disappoint and Matt and I both enjoyed heaping plates of pasta before heading back to the boat and off to sleep.
