Left Erie before 7:00 am to see if we can get to ….

Cleveland !,
 pulling in around 4:30.  We docked right outside the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Museum, 

 close to Burk- waterfront airport and the Browns/ FirstEnergy Stadium.  Once we got cleaned up, we ubered to Great Lakes Brewing Co. for a fabulous dinner!
 
                                                              

 Tuesday, still in Cleveland. 
see Zingara to the left of the "C"?


We expected & woke up  to high winds and white caps on the lake.   So we spent the morning in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, 


 lunched down at "The Flats", came back to Zingara, then enjoyed Happy Hour and dinner at the wonderful Nuevo Modern Mexican & Tequila Bar!  We could see another storm coming in, so we quickly ran back to the boat, and shook our heads as other patrons screamed and ran as lightening and thunder invaded the outdoor patio.

 It was another wonderful day on Zingara!

Back on Zingara, we experienced an unforgettable evening-cruise down-river to the GM building for a live concert, with FABULOUS new friends!  Laura & Josh Hevron, Rick, Steve & Kate Long Kim & Cap'n Rick Always smiling, Jessie Hornberger Arriving at the GM Building Unfortunately, while dropping the anchor, I injured two fingers, and that cut the evening short.  I can’t even begin to thank the levelheaded, calm friends that surrounded me that night! They made what-could-have-been a disaster, into an organized, effective training for what to do in case of an accident. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! As the hand-surgery healed,    we hosted an Open Hour on Zingara, for our Pontiac Yacht Club friends! During these past two months, we really appreciated this opportunity to meet such fantastic new friends, and to reconnect with “old” ones!  But, now it was time to move on, before it gets too cold here in ...

Wed, May 25th: 6:50 am We left the quiet harbor of Chesapeake City,  and traveled east/northeast in the C&D (Chesapeake/Delaware) canal.  The day started off easy, and I felt so silly at my pride in my accomplishments --- I remembered my gloves when I went out to hoist up the anchor, I pressed the correct button (UP not DOWN) on the electric windless, and I even sprayed off the mud with a small hose BEFORE getting the chain onto the boat!  Then I went inside the cabin, started the generator, let it warm up, switched on the master switch, turned on the galley AC outlets, and THEN > ta-da ->> made coffee!  Ha!!! Simple pleasures for simple minds!   My major job while we were motoring, was to keep an eye behind the boat, to warn Rick is a big SHIP was there; it would run us over! We luckily made to the Delaware River without any mishap, and turned south-east.  There, we saw many huge ships, one named the British Century. ...

Wednesday, May 31st Sag Harbor to Greenport

Image
ANOTHER day of clouds and drizzle!  So, we stayed tied up, walked into town for a delicious (but expensive $27 ???) breakfast at the Golden Pear!  Lunch Menu >>> We waked down Main street, went by 1790 circa. homes, one that had the wonderufl rose garden! to the Sag Harbor Whaling Museum. As we’re docked, and have electricity, we did shopping & laundry while waiting for the fog to break.  We’re trying to get to Greenport, NY (only 1 ½ hours away) on the North Fork of Long Island.  We had visited this town by land last summer, and look forward to visiting it again, by sea.   We just wish we could get some sunshine!!!
