The
island was celebrating Christmas in July and we had 4 days to make merry. We got a wonderful view of the Benson Ford, a ship
that was set on the edge of a cliff and turned into a home. We hooked on to a mooring ball, hailed a water taxi, and headed
straight to the Round House, a place with beer in a bucket and live music on the bar.

On
our next excursion, we set our course for Put-In-Bay on South Bass Island. The lake was empty, and the wind carried us along
nicely all the way to Kelly Island’s east coast. 5 miles away from South Bass, like a phantom, the wind left us. After
an hour of waiting to see if it would return to us, Don reluctantly started the motor. Desperate times call for desperate
measures.
