Hot In Cleveland

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame:
Characters from Pink Floyd's The Wall


We've elected to stay another two days at the Riverside Yacht Club in Cleveland. It's more a marina than yacht club and it's not ideal - lots of noise from the nearby road and airport - cars whistling along not far from the boats and planes coming in overhead. The pool is picturesquely situated next a power station and the associated transformers and there is no shade - but the winds are rising and the prediction is for a break in the heat tomorrow as thunderstorms pass through. We plan to leave on Sunday when the temperature is supposed to drop from the current high 90s F and fair conditions are predicted.

Yesterday afternoon Karen, Warren, Bob and I spent the afternoon at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We'd been told that it would take about two hours to see. What were we thinking? We arrived at 3:30 and at 5:00 we were still on the first level enjoying the collection of memorabilia, interactive displays and best of all, the old video footage of Rock and Roll's most influential and popular singers. The Hall closed at 5:30! so there was lots left to see. Bob, Warren and I went back today and spent another another four hours. I could easily go back and enjoy another day but we'll look for other entertainment tomorrow. One of these days we'll get back to sailing!

I have been looking everyday to see if there is a new posting. As usual your blog is so well done & interesting. We finally got some good rain this afternoon, some high winds that blew some roofs off up the Ottawa Valley, tornado warnings but as of yet I haven't heard that any hit; some power outages. We too are looking forward to some cooler temps & less humidity more importantly.

Ciao!
