The departure of several fishing charters at 4:45 am was our wake up call today in Geneva on the Lake. The National Weather Service was predicting calm seas so we planned an early departure, But Lake Erie, true to her character, didn't hear from the National Weather Service so we had 2 to 4 foot waves directly on our bow for the entire trip to Dunkirk, NY. Staying close to shore we could see the picturesque bluffs, but it was waaay too choppy for pictures. We arrived in Dunkirk around noon, fueled up and moved to our assigned dock with the help of several local people.
Tomorrow to Buffalo and the Erie Canal. Of course, the National Weather Service has promised us 1 foot or less wave for our 1.5 hour trip. We'll see.. After that it's 5 to 10 miles per hour for the next 400 miles.
