Lory,
Don't forget about the new Shipwreck Science program offered by the Bayfront Center for Maritime Studies.
It is a scenic, three hour ride on the Canadian Sailor to look at a shipwreck in the shallow waters of Lake Erie off of Presque Isle State Park, using side scan sonar equipment and an underwater remote operating vehical (ROV). See more about it at: www.bayfrontcenter.org.

You're welcome, Chris. I've been hearing from a lot of people that they weren't aware of the Day Sail opportunities.

I've lived here 50 years and never knew the Niagara had Day Sails available! Thanks for the idea!

Thanks Stephanie and Jenny. I have quite a few friends who are avid sailors and they all love it. I'm considering taking the classes at the Yacht Club next year.

Welcome Lory! I agree that this is a great idea–we're always looking for new things to do in the area, especially with the boys. And I have a feeling Mike would really like to take sailing lessons!

This is a great idea for a column. Where we live (near Altoona), we're always off doing local touristy stuff. Our local friends often say that they never think of doing these things & wonder where we got the idea. I reply that having lived in Erie for 10 years, we were spoiled with great things to do that maybe only tourists thought of. Since we have that mindset, it's a little easier to spot what there is to do that's fun.

This column will be a great reminder of reasons to come back to Erie. Of course it'll make us homesick too ;)
