Another successful SVRA event at Mid-Ohio even with the Monsoon rains on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Torrential downpours, thankfully they came later in the day and didn't last too long. All the races were squeezed in somehow. New shirts from a generous sponsor made the weekend. At last I am somewhat of a bumble bee (inside joke).

It was a cold and rainy day at Put-In-Bay.
What can I say, a little island paradise tucked in at the west end of Lake Erie. Apparently this is Mecca to weekend party boaters. An island measuring some 3 miles by 1.5 miles. Access by ferry or air. They try and encourage tourists to leave their cars on the mainland and avail themselves of one of the 800 golf carts on the island. Lets see, return trip for a car and two people by ferry.....$42.00. Two days cart rental on the island...$120.00. Hmmm, do the math, NOT!
We stayed at a B&B about a half block from the waterfront, The Anchour Inn, oops, it's in America. That should be "Anchor". We had a two bedroom cottage that we shared with Bob and Linda Williams, 'The Wee Anchor Cottage'.
The stay included breakfast which was pretty good although not a lot of choice. You ate what was served or went hungry. Started with a bowl of blueberries with cream, some form a hash brown potatoes and an egg souffle, rounded out with coffee or tea.
The island is steeped in history. I could go on for pages but best you check it out for yourselves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Put-in-Bay,_Ohio
Sunsets on Lake Erie are as good as any at Key West, Fl.
