[C38] Western Lake Erie advice

[William Knowles]

Charles I spent about thirty years sailing on Erie. Put in Bay is about the
best anchorage out there well protected. the North side of Kellys island is
nice but if it blows from the north watch out.If you like amusement parks
especially roller coasters try Cedar point on Sandusky
bay, they have one of the largest coasters in the world, can be seen from
miles away. If yu get to Cleveland Edgewater Yacht my old Port of Call is
and good stop over with friendly people ( at least it used to be) and the
first couple of nights used to be free to other yacht club members. The
inner harbor is nice or was and the Rock and Roll hall of fame is right
there. Have a great trip.
