“Racers, to your boats!”
George C. O’Connell Fall Bay Regatta, sponsored by North Cape Yacht Club, continues Sunday morning as nor’easterly 11mph winds greet sailors exiting Put-in-Bay Harbor. Bright sunshine and enthusiasm should help participants overcome an air temperature of 62°F.
Mixing it up in Put-in-Bay Harbor

Miller Boat Line’s new ferry, M/V Mary Ann Market, is depicted below through computer-aided graphic design!
The new 140 foot long, 38.5 foot wide ferry will accommodate 26 standard sized vehicles or 600 passengers. It will join Miller’s present fleet of four passenger/vehicle ferries. Miller Ferries operate between the peninsula of Catawba to Put-in-Bay (South Bass Island), and also to Middle Bass Island, Ohio. Both islands are popular Lake Erie resorts. The M/V (Motor Vessel) Mary Ann Market will feature enhanced propulsion and maneuverability, a main deck ADA accessible passenger cabin and restroom, and a 20% increase in cargo capacity over Miller’s largest vessel. Miller Boat Line expects delivery in the fall of 2019.
