Cedar Point 2022
My family and I just got home from a week trip to Sandusky Ohio. My in laws rented a nice beach house about a half mile down the road from cedar point. I brought the 26X to use as my escape pod/quiet space. I ended up leaving the mast down for this trip because to get to our private beach to anchor, I needed to motor through a 20' high tunnel under Cedar Point Drive.
I opted to stay in motor boat mode and took my wife's brother/ sister/ parents on several boat rides around on the water around the park.
I couldn't convince the fam to go for a day sail to Put-inBay and South Bass Island because the wind was a bit too rowdy, so we took the Miller Ferry to the island for some touristy exploring.
We saw a 26M pull into the marina behind The Keys restaurant while we were eating lunch.
On the trip back to Shelby Street Boat Launch, I stumbled on the Tall Ships festival at Jackson Street Pier and got to sail next to the US Brig Niagara and a Spanish Galleon. The Niagara lives about 3 miles from my boat slip but it was fun to see her out away from home!
Sorry about the disjointed writing, there is a ton do do now that I'm back home and I just wanted to get something uploaded here.

Russ,
