August 18 - 20

We sailed on to Cleveland. The winds were not favourable, and the waves were rolly, so this seemed like a long and uneventful trip. As always, that drink at the end of the day puts everything is perspective.

The morning was dreary and raining but it was a great day to do some provisioning. Terry and Debbie offered to help us with before heading back home. It was sure helpful to have them help out in the grocery store as many of the brands are not familiar to us.

It was sad to have to say good-bye as we have had a wonderful time with them. They are great crew and we hope they will join us again.

More rain this morning so we stayed put and used the morning to do a lot of organizing and straightening up on board. We donned our rain coats and walked up to an internet café and spent the afternoon catching up on email and setting up our blog. Our walk passed through an interesting area that seems to be in transition between revitalization and somewhat more rough. We both decided that it is best visited during the day. We enjoyed a beer at an Irish pub (part of the revitalization) but decided to pass on the happy hour at the local bar.
