Erie Yacht Club

We took the day slow and easy again. There was a beautiful breeze blowing all day and it kept it comfortable on or off board. We got showers, wifi and in the evening we went up to the Clubhouse for some burgers. When we were heading  up to the clubhouse we noticed people onboard getting ready for the race.
When we asked about them the Committee boat told us they were running them from the Lighthouse and there would be about 40 boats in it. There was great front row view from a dock set out in the water. The boats were tacking back and forth in front of us. My cold has sapped any strength I might of had out of me.
Dick walked up the hill and into the city to get some supplies. I stayed on board and slept.
Dick is up in the night with the noise from the halyards of other boats who don't tie them properly for these situations.  Our dock is in with the racers as that is where the deep water is. There transient docks are down to 5 feet. If we say here I guess less breeze might be better. Lazy hazy days of summer!
