Monday - August 25

Yikes....woke up to a bunch of mayflies on Catrina along with other bugs, BUT....mayflies?   That's a May/June bug and here we are almost September???   Not happy to see those buggers.

 Cool day with a high of 69 and clouds/sun ....I got a latte at "Brewed Awakening" and then we went to Granny Joe's for breakfast - you can't come to Vermilion and not hit these 2 popular places!

Mark worked on scrubbing the scum line on Catrina - we are down to our last week!    Crazy fast summer but we're ready for fall and lots of fun stuff coming up.

I walked downtown but disappointed that so many shops are closed on Mondays?  Same goes for restaurants?   What the heck?   It's still in-season and with this being such a popular boating community???   I don't get it and neither do the shop folks I visited with....... 

Walked back to Catrina just as Mark was finishing up!   We did facetime with Philip and family.   Luke and Maeve have 1 more week of vacation.

Quiet afternoon - read, played games and Mark took a nap.   It was such a pretty day, we really shouldn't spend it indoors, so another walk.   We are amazed about the lack of boats here - the season is definitely winding down.    We are at the Vermilion public docks and there are 2 areas - 1st one where we are has 20 slips and Catrina is here by herself?    And then further up the river is a long wall and that's where we walked and again, NO boats?   Usually this is a very busy place and full of boats!   We've never been here this late in the season.

We would've gone to The Vault (old bank building) for dinner as it was really good last visit, but they are closed Mondays.....arghhhh along with others, so we ate on Catrina.

Fall is definitely in the air and these pleasant temps will continue thru the week.

Pretty flowers around downtown

Flags and flowers are everywhere downtown
Even high above the trees

We went for a walk down by the beach to watch the sunset....
Ominous looking sky
Vermilion lighthouse with pretty sky
Last sunset for us in Vermilion

Heading back to Port Clinton tomorrow...
