With every other vacation getting cancelled, I got to take the girlfriend to a location that I haven’t been to in about 15 years, and she (somehow) has never been to. The village of Put-In-Bay on South Bass Island, which is the third largest island in the Lake. The island itself is only about 3.5 miles by 1.5 miles, and about 3 miles from shore. It’s a popular vacation spot for people from Northern Ohio all the way over to the Eastern areas of Michigan.
The island is supported almost entirely by tourism, there’s less than 500 full time residents on the island. The tourism season is generally through April to October, and temporary workers are brought over to live on the island through the season. There are two active wineries on the island (including the oldest family owned one in Ohio), a brewery/distillery, and then quite a few bars and restaurants.
To get to the island, you’ll need a boat, a plane, or you can take one of the ferries that runs across. While you can take your car over to the island, it really isn’t recommended for visitors. Most of the people there navigate around on golf carts, bikes, or scooters. Now that all the boring stuff is out of the way, let’s get going to Put-In-Bay.
We left the Cleveland area Friday mid-morning, with plans to hit up a brewery on Catawba Island (actually a peninsula) for lunch. We got there, and were greeted by a large amount of open seating:
As you can see, they had no issue setting up tables with social distancing enforced. We did see some teenagers tossing a football around, and getting yelled at for not wearing a mask while doing so. Overall, this brewery (Twin Oast Brewing) does have a beautiful location:
They also have a winery license, and do meads and ciders. They’ve got several orchards set up and the peaches were just coming into ripeness).
After that, it was time to head up to get to Miller Ferry. This is the low cost, easy way to get over to South Bass Island ($7.50 per person each way). The Ferry takes about half an hour to get loaded up and across to the island.
At this point, you’re about two miles away from the Downtown Put-In-Bay area, you can either rent a golf cart ($40-$60 a day), walk it, or hire one of the taxis ($3 per person anywhere on the island). Once you get checked into your cottage/B&B/hotel/rental property, it’s time for the most common activity on the island, getting a beer (this one was the suggestion from the staff, a raspberry mocha stout):
If you decided to rent a golf cart, you will find plenty of available parking for them (but be aware that you can and will get arrested with a DUI/OVI if you’ve been drinking).
Next time, I’ll talk about some of the history and family friendly things that you can do on the island, and I’ll leave you with this dapper statue.
I heard it caught fire once.
That would be the Cuyahoga river.
Although one of the early hotels burned down back in the day across the street from the fire station. The one firetruck was on the mainland getting serviced.
I’m guessing you led a much more dissolute life than did the girlfriend.
By how much did it appear visitor numbers were down? Or were they?
That would be a safe bet.
The people I was talking to were saying they were down 50-75% over last year. They were doing OK once things started to open back up, then there was a COVID outbreak reported (less than 20 cases), and the numbers have dropped off since the 4th of July. I’ve got some really sad pictures that I’m planning on including in the third article showing the world’s longest bar, and how empty it is.
I hope they are able to bounce back. Seems I’m saying that a hundred times a day lately.
And thanks for writing. I love travelogues. 🙂
I really feel for the seasonal workers. At the B&B we stayed at were two lovely young ladies from Croatia who were university basketball players. This was their first time working on the island. There’s only one grocery store and beverage store on the island, and it’s really easy to drink and eat your paychecks, especially when the tips are light.
They would be higher if they allowed drunken golf carting.
Open containers are forbidden. One location has a sign up that says, “We forbid open containers, including but not limited to water bottles, tumbles, sippy cups, and coolers.”
So in case you are like Sloopy and sneak in booze in a baby bottle?
The booze was in the original Jim Beam fifth bottle. We hid the bottle inside the baby carrier/cradle thing.
I’m assuming that what’s inside the container is moot?
I never had moot, is it good?
Not that it matters.
**SIGH** No need for Swissie, I’ll see myself out.
Yep. The undertone of the sign is that these are the ways they’ve caught people sneaking booze onto their property in the past. My guess is they haven’t caught up to the It’s Always Sunny crowd yet.

Referring to CP.
I should have put way more thought in my initials.
Nah, you’re golden.
Looks quite peaceful, nice Neph! glad you got away for a while,
There’s also some natural caves on the island that I’ve got pictures of in the next piece (since it’s family friendly).
Ooooo…. that sounds cool.
but be aware that you can and will get arrested with a DUI/OVI if you’ve been drinking
When I was in Nashville, I got talking with an uber driver while going down to the bars. I noted the electric scooters. She warned me that in Tennessee you can get a DUI if you’re riding them while drunk.
That statue needs a monocle.
Twin Oast looks good.
I look forward to part two.
Those scooters in Nashville are a menace even without drunk operators.
My supervisor at the AAFES store in Garmisch took a drunken face plant riding home on his bicycle. Eight stitches and a 800 mark fine, or some bullshit. The Polizei always mange to show up before the Krankenwagen.
Heheheheh–you talk funny.
I can concede that operating a vehicle after drinking can be frowned upon (although the 0.08% standard is too low), in NM (and probably other places) you can get a DWI for riding a horse while above the legal limit. This, too me, is total horseshit (sorry). If you are drunk then the horse is smarter than you and is in control. To me it’s like getting a DWI while a passenger in a car operated by a cold-sober driver.
I dunno, based on the article the other day, horses are a holes.
In TX, 2 DUIs were thrown out because the riders were on horses. The judge cited what you said, the horse ultimately has the control.
No pictures of Canada? Or is there a part two?
Find it immensely interesting that part or all of 21 or 22 states lie north of the southernmost point of Canada.
From the land, you can see just Pelee Island (which looks like most of the other islands). There is a part two and a part three I’m working on.
Woo hoo!
I love telling Americans (and even some Canadians!) that the southernmost point in Canada is actually as far south as northern California. Blows their minds.
And there is a part of Canada south of the USA.
Errr…. yeah that made sense.
You go south from Detroit to get to Windsor.
I was off. It’s 27.
http://robslink.com/SAS/democd94/us_north_of_canada2.png
Or that Reno is farther west than Los Angeles.
Which is farther west than San Diego.
Pretty. Too bad about the DUI risk.
Can you get DUI on bicycle? Because it’s only 3.5 miles long.
In the state of Ohio you can. But you basically have to be faceplanting, vomiting, pissing, or swearing at a cop to get pulled over on a bicycle.

From what little I’ve seen, yeah, pretty much.
You can in Arizona
DUI seems pretty lax in BhC, unless your just too stupid to be on the road, I’ve spoke to them with beer in hand, went home later, they know my van,
No esta problemo
White privilege!
We walked the whole time. Most of the rental properties are near the “downtown” so it’s a quarter mile walk at best to get from the bars to your bed. There’s a couple of bars on the south end of the island which we didn’t make it to, including an iconic dive bar, and a newer one called Taco Bay. Even those are only about 2 miles away.
It looks/sounds perfect for a mountain/hybrid/cyclocross/whatever bike you can ride on dirt.
Most of the bikes on the island are cruisers, the B&B we stayed at had some we could take for guests, but we didn’t go that far, and they needed some air in the tires. The roads are paved, but there are large gaps without sidewalks.
“it’s a quarter mile walk at best to get from the bars to your bedL
Perfect. I like a stroll to and from meals/drinks.
Never been there in all my years in Ohio. Looks as if it’s less than an hour from Maumee Bay State Park, which we’d very much like to visit again. Looking forward to hearing more – including accommodation options (and some idea of prices) if we decided to stay overnight = in your upcoming installments. Thanks!
There’s hotels, B&B’s, rental houses/cottages/condominiums, and camping available. Expect about $200+ a night (for anything other then camping) and food will run about $25 a meal. The rentals are more for large groups (some will have 4-8 bedrooms). It was a very popular destination for bachelor/bachelorette parties (we saw three of the latter during our weekend). The only chains on the island are a single Subway and a South Bend Chocolate Factory location.
I’ve never been. Always seemed like more of a summer long spring break fest to me. Wife and I got a nice Hotel across town last night just to get out of the house. First time I’ve been on the freeway in months:) Managed to go to grocery store yesterday, then Hotel, dinner at a bar and restaurant, and brunch this morning, all without getting any grief for violating the state mask mandate. I was concerned I was going to end up ruining the weekend for my wife by having to bitch slap someone.
Nice to hear your wife behaved. A domestic can really be a pain in the ass.
Lol
It’s a lot more subdued now then when I went last. I’m not sure how much is lockdown related, and how much is generational changes. The average age of the people there seemed to be grouped into young 20’s, and over 40’s. While walking back to the B&B one night, I got dragged into a game of catch with a football with random people on the street. Just that sense of normality was wonderful.
Sounds cool. Have to add it to our last. We have a week off in about a month. Well probably just get a cabin in the mountains in bfe. Grocery shop the first night in town and then just hike, grill, and hot tub all week.
Is Pat Daly still a thing? Only thing worse than Jimmy Buffet is a wanna be Jimmy Buffet.

There was a cave used to hold POW’s during the War of 1812, but no. It was considered prime land, both for sheep raising and vineyards. The tour the girlfriend made me go on had the guide saying that at one point over 75% of the island was vineyards. There are only two animals that are common in Ohio that don’t live on the island: skunks and opossums. One winter they had about a dozen deer and 4 coyotes come over.
On the ferry?
They can either swim the three miles, or walk across the ice if the lake freezes.
Yeah–no one rides for free, dammit.

I think this is a truly bad idea.
I think this is a truly bad idea.
I agree. Which is why I can HARDLY WAIT TO SEE IT HAPPEN!!!
Like one of my Asian friends once told me ‘You terrible, terrible person!’.
My wife and I have gone up to the Port Clinton area a a couple times; last time was 2 years ago. we would stay at a B&B and check out local restaurants, wineries and breweries. We’ve been to the Twin Oast Brewery and tried a few of their beers. When we went to Put-in-Bay for half a day, we walked around to a couple wineries; didn’t make it to the brewery. We also made a separate trip to Kelly’s Island, which is more laid back.
Re: the Put-in-Bay Brewery and Distillery, is that relatively new?
They apparently opened in 1996, but I don’t remember going there when I was there last. It’s right near the Reel Bar. Kelly’s Island is pretty much isolated now.
Sounds great.
My neighbor grew up in Putin Bay. It sounds like quite the party town.

Today when we were out and about, I for some reason just stated thinking about all of the kiddies who got out of Spring classes this year and are going to get out of fall classes as well, and tried to put myself in that place as a 5th grader.
Man, I remember snow days. A snow day at that age, it was like the best thing that could ever happen to you. It was almost as good as a Christmas and Bday combined.
And when summer came around, you know, that’s something that only happened once a year, and when you are 10, a year last like eons! I mean the oceans of time and space you would have to cross that encompass an entire year, along with being in one grade and going to the next, mind boggling, almost beyond comprehension. When the teacher said those magical worlds ‘you’re dismissed’, the day school was out for summer, OMG! It was just a stampede and such joy that your little heart had never experienced, since last time school was out.
Then to imagine an entire year without school. Unimaginable. It would have been an adventure of epic proportions. For me and my cousins and friends, it would have been like real life Lord of the Flies expanded version. As a 5th grader I would have been raiding my uncle’s well stocked liquor cabinets and we would have been plotting to take over the world, because the kids had won the final victory, no more school, no more rule’s! We’d all be found passed out the next day on stolen liquor, in places we were forbidden to go, and probably would have knocked over the candy store the day, empty beer cans and pixie stix straws everywhere, underwear on our heads and socks on our ears. For the glory!
‘
So Hyperion spent the day thinking about children.
but it sucks balls for modern children who do nothing but stare at devices all day indoors.
Speaking of snow days and devices. We had to listen to the radio to wait for school closings to be announced. Nowadays them dang kids and their internets can just look it up. Also it took a blizzard to get us out of school. Now they just mention snow in the forecast and class is canceled.
Yeah, we could only max out at like five snow days so they had to reserve them for the worst of the worst. Like snow over your head.
I remember that. Praying my school would be on the list they called out.
The universities never cancelled. For them to do so would be a blizzard of a lifetime. Now they shut down just like public schools.

*”Turning your life around”….after gouging out your own eyes? I guess she’s on the wagon?
Kids, do not do the drugs that makes you rip out your eyeballs. Maybe a beer, some weed, even a little blow, but stay away from that one.
Once I did some acid with this dude and he went to the bathroom and didn’t come back for a really long time. And I thought, hmm, this is bad, but maybe that much time didn’t really pass and it just seems like it because I’m tripping.
So I just kept sitting there, but finally I said to myself, OK, I’d better to check on the kid, I hope he is not freaking out. I think I was 21 but he was only 19.
So I go to check on him and the door is open, so I look in there and he’s just standing there, staring in the mirror. So I said ‘dude, are you OK?’. Then he just sort of snaps out of it, but he looked like he’d seen a ghost and I said ‘let’s go back in the living room and watch some TV or something’.
So we get back in there and he finally speaks and says ‘Man, don’t ever look in the mirror if you’re doing acid, my eyes just melted out of my head and went down the drain and I was trying to get them back out’. So I said ‘OK, good advice’.

Part of the problem is that large swathes of Americans, thanks to the commie indoctrination factories of school and the media, is sympathetic to the idea that lives are more valuable than property to the point where they don’t think property crimes are that big of a deal.
In a just world, Bernie Goetz would be pardoned.
Yup.
When any one pulls that shit, wrt criminals getting killed for thefts, etc., my response would be, “My property didn’t do anything wrong; it is innocent.”

That’s the part that scares me. I can only hope a jury will see through the bullshit.

Garret Foster suddenly became a good Commie.
This shit is starting to get rally old, even with the weasel word “style”. I don’t care if he was a reincarnation of Lenin–he didn’t have an assault rifle, or what they said, since an actual assault rifle is categorized exactly by its style.
really*
OK, maybe “rally”, too. Many of these rallies today are so very tiresome.
so in the end was Garret Foster a “libertarian” simping for the commies or just a commie? I am not sure which is worse
I think he just wanted power in “other hands”–more collective than anything else. So, I vote for commie.
Has he ever written for TOS…?
You’re killing it tonight, Rhy ?
At some point it will happen with an off duty leo.
BTW–I think a few of us around here have indulged in buying Glibs masks off of Redbubble.
I just got mine on Friday. I’m a bit torn about it (and another one I bought), as they aren’t what I would call “high quality”. And, just so it’s said, the masks aren’t made by our overlords here, so the quality of them isn’t a glibs issue.
Anyway, I’m not exactly thrilled by their quality. Then again, they are, both, masks for the silliness of various EO’s, and not at all about actual viral safety and healthcare. So, I guess it’s a wash–I’m happy to have it, and did wear it while grocery shopping on Saturday.
I got two as well. I think the quality is suitable for the occasion. They say, “technically I’m a mask but let’s not pretend I’m helping anyone.”
Yeah, that’s what I, ultimately, arrive at. If I had ordered them for some other, non-health theater purpose, I’d be a bit disappointed in their manufacture.
I will say this for the various health shams going on–it has brought out the creativity in many people, and/or given people a new avenue for it.

A movie line I keep coming back to these days–it wasn’t spoken in support of the best situation, but, Mel’s line from the first part of The Patriot:

Somehow I never saw “Dirty Dancing” – I guess it was never a thing in Japan so no women I ever dated here made it a point to watch it together. I can’t remember why I never saw it with my ex – who I was married to in 1987. I doubt I missed anything.
Not as far as I can tell, you didn’t.
Saw it with MY ex while he was a residence hall advisor at the small Midwestern college where he attended seminary. Then we went to said college’s graduation ceremony and I recognized the school’s alma mater as having the exact same tune as the Dirty Dancing Catskills resort’s anthem. Giggles were suppressed.

Everything is still stupid and you don’t have enough ammo.
Yeah, I’m not happy with my self defense situation at home, but current events are helping to prevent a remedy to the situation.
What do y’all think about the N.Y. attorney General trying to disband the NRA?
Seems like bs,if specific people committed crimes they should be jailed for it or fined. I guess at some point an organization ad a whole can be tainted, but that gets increasingly difficult to prove as membership increases. My 2 cents.
Politically-motivated theater. She bragged about wanting to take them (not him) down during her campaign.
Oh, no doubt. She seems like a real piece of work.
Also, glad to see you back on, hope your doing better.
Mornin’, Glibs.
It appears to be monday. 🙁 I have work again today.
Morning, no work for me, unless all hell broke out during the weekend. Which it may have.
Mornin’, UCS. I will have my own work – no payroll to process this week, at least – and a goodly chunk of Unreliable-and-Soon-to-be-Ex-Coworker’s work to do. I haven’t heard any hints that anyone has expressed an interest in the internal posting of her position, so I fear it will take my boss a while to get around to advertising it out in the World At Large. He doesn’t like – and therefore is not the best at – doing that sort of thing.
::shrugs:: It beats not having work.
Three weeks until a vacation.
Woo hoo! Planning any travel, even if not nearly as far as you’d originally intended?
At the furthest, I’d be visiting my mother.
Mostly the vacation is to burn leave time so I don’t lose it.
Yup – after using a chunk in May, I figured out I had until November before I accrued enough again to max out, so I’ve scheduled some time off around my birthday but before Thanksgiving. In the meantime, I’m sure I’ll use a little here and there – I hope we can get away for at least a long weekend somewhere different and pleasant.
BLM protesting the gays. You can’t make this stuff up
Wut?
In before Sloopy’s meltdown starts: Talk is the Big 10 might push football to the spring or cancel the season.
Just cancel and try again next year. At this point, whatever sham of a season they put together isn’t going to be worth the effort.

That’s not gonna buff out.
