Northeast wind at 15 mph and high water did not prevent sundry activities from taking place at Put-in-Bay harbor on Friday morning. Wildlife enjoyed a good bathing, 420 sailors relished the quick-action tacking, the USCG trolled the harbor from above and on the water, overnight boaters tread lightly through flooded “B” Dock, and one brave pontoon master headed to sea.
Gibraltar dock takes brunt of east wind and waves.

Put-in-Bay continues to experience weather changes extraordinaire! Northeast wind, rolling white-caps, and a burst of rain colored the harbor dreary this morning. Look for sunshine tomorrow!
