When the wind blows hard out of the Southwest, the water level in the Western basin of Lake Erie drops dramatically.

Sometimes there is not enough "water" for the ferry boats to run..... so people must fly between the Islands and the mainland.

That's when I get busy.

The exposed "beach" in this photo is normally about 4 to 6 feet underwater.

In the distance you can see a small marina inlet you can "walk around" on the newly exposed beach.
