August 17

We woke up to a gorgeous morning and headed down the Detroit River to Lake Erie. The Detroit skyline from the water is quite spectacular.

Once into Lake Erie, we had an awesome sail to Put-In Bay. The winds were waaa..y in our favour and so there was lively discussion about the size of the waves and the wind speed. How was it that Terry seemed to keep missing the big waves?? We moored out at Put-In Bay and spent the rest of the afternoon seeing the sights and climbing the Perry Memorial Tower to get a knock out view of the lake and surrounding area. This memorial is the third highest monument in the US, taller even than the Statue of Liberty.
