Cleveland to Catawba Island

Cleveland to Catawba Island

We exited the miles-long breakwater that protects the Cleveland waterfront after a leisurely breakfast and good night’s sleep. The winds are usually from the west, but this morning from the east, setting up 2 foot rolling swells behind us with a comfortable wave period. Nearby Pu-In Bay is to be avoided on summer weekends, and we couldn’t get a slip at the Middle Bass Island SP marina or several others. We finally reserved a slip on this island at a giant marina with a pool, captains lounge and a much-needed laundry. We planned to walk 1.2 miles to the General Dollar store to get some chocolate covered truffles, but it was too dangerous with almost no road shoulder and too hot, so we turned around.

Automatic NEBO log is here; almost zero time under 20 MPH, just like Colby.
