Season #9...Splashdown!

I've had many requests to start the blog again for folks who don't use Facebook and want to watch our Lake Erie activities during the boating season.  It all starts with getting Ocean Breeze into the water.  Many, many thanks to the manpower hours from our technicians that keep the old gal running.  Rory and Clay from Mike's Dockside, Marblehead, Ohio know OB inside and out...better than we know her ourselves.  Next up are the fine staff at Bay Point Marina and Resort who transport her to and from the water, year after year after year.  They too are a great group who take excellent care of our Ocean Breeze.

So here we go...season #9 in Ocean Breeze, season #28 in boating and enjoying adventures on the water.  Last year was difficult with Todd's problems in his neck.  Our season was short and mostly spent at our dock.  This year looks more promising.  We plan trips to the Lake Erie Islands, we are considering going into Lake Ontario and the 1000 Islands area, and there is a possibility we may take Ocean Breeze down the Atlantic to Cape Coral in the fall.

Pretty good looking old gal...that Ocean Breeze.
