It should be noted that recently, the Coast Guard have stepped up their presence at PIB & are in the habit of using any reason they can to help themselves to your money...so have lights & PFD's in your dingy !!

Weather and Winds

Lake Erie weather is usualy quite pleasent during the warm days of summer, however, afternoon (often violent) thundershowers that develop without very much warning should be expected, as they are all to commonplace.

If I can pass along only one bit of advice to my fellow boaters, it's this...

The words "The Calm Before The Storm" were composed to discribe Lake Erie !!!

When you notice the Lake is "glass calm" & the wind has reduced to "a whisper"...THAT IS MOTHER NATURE'S WARNING to you !!!

Get safely tied up in a marina...& your family will applaud your wisdom.
