Not very amusing

There is something forlorn about an amusement park in the off-season; especially one on the shores of Lake Erie in the winter.

Cedar Point is on the eastern shore of the entrance to Sandusky Harbour. 

A trip here in mid-January is usually a call to break ice, but the warm weather this past week has melted the ice and it is a buoy off position that has brought us here.

There is only enough water in the shipping channel for large vessels to move through the harbour so each course has range lights to mark the centre of the channel.

Range lights for next course still open
