The forecast for today is NE and ENE all day long (i.e., behind us), so we were up early to take advantage of the tail winds and head to Cleveland. We were up early again, made the 06:30 opening of the bascule bridge and were soon out on Lake Erie headed WSW at 7.5 kn. The wind was not high enough to have a good sail, so we motor-sailed all the way to Cleveland, but it was nice to have the wind behind us all day, just for a change. We made it into Cleveland without event and were tied up at Edgewater Marina - on the west side of town - just after 14:00. On the way in, we fueled up and pumped out. Another long day on the water, but we are making good progress to the west.

We were up at the crack of 08:00 to head to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. A walk, a bus and a walk got us there by 10:30. We had thought we would stay for a couple of hours and then head over to take in a Cleveland Indians afternoon game, but we ended up staying until 15:30 and missed the game; it was loads of fun going through all the memorabilia, interviews and songs. After the Hall of Fame, we took the bus back to our side of town and found a neat little restaurant - Luxe - and had a very nice meal out of small plates. We got back to the boat just before it started to rain.
