Hello friends and family!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry for the late update, but we had a very long and busy day yesterday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The morning started off with us grabbing coffee in the rain at a store near the Public Dock in Dunkirk, NY. As the dark skies slowly became a little lighter, we fired up Neverland’s diesel and let her warm up for 15 minutes before setting off toward North East Marina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We weren’t yet a half mile off shore before we realized we were in for a rough trip. 2 to 4 foot waves were already giving us fits, and the wind was whipping straight out of the north, making for a very rough ride. Both of us suffered some pretty miserable seasickness. We held on, aimed Neverland west, and tried to concentrate on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four hours later, we crossed into Pennsylvania and were in sight of the marina, which is completely surrounded by a breakwater wall. The entrance is a small gap in the wall, which with the horrible conditions, made for a tricky entry. Threading the needle is the term that comes to mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once inside the walled marina, the wind was still giving us fits as we finally were able to get into a slip and tie off. Stepping on land did little to help our wobbly legs. Lake Erie had taken a lot out of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We summoned an Uber and took the 30 minute trip to the Erie, Pennsylvania airport where we rented a car and started the journey home. We arrived in Chattanooga at 11:30 pm last night, exhausted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boat is safe and secure and we’ll now start planning our next trip, as soon as everything stops spinning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
