Behind the Bar at Erieau

This view looking south shows us well protected from the lake, although the bay might get unruly in a significant northerly.

We had very little wind and motored all the way from Port Stanley to Erieau. We are anchored in behind the bar in more water than the chart suggests. Motored cautiously right through the gap and over to the west. It reads 5 or 6 from the weeds with occasional glimpses of 12 to 15 on the bottom, and we are 0.95m above datum. Anchored here with Dragon III 20 years ago, but that was September with lower water and a full season of weed growth.

There’s a horizon out there somewhere during our calm motor. Looks like tomorrow could be similar.
