Took the boat out for only the second time this year. I still don't have current registration, but I couldn't stand it sitting on the trailer in the garage any longer. Wife and I had "date night" Saturday night on Lake Erie.

Here's the sunset from about 2mi out into the lake. We weren't super adventurous.



Here's one looking the other way back at the Buffalo Skyline!


Just checked the GPS coordinates on the picture. Guess we were further out there than I thought!

nice view.
that lake is surprisingly shallow, avg around 70'...around 30ish where you're anchored? water temp?
looks like it'd be cool to explore the niagra river or buffalo river by boat...not sure how far that is from where you put in.

saw 'deep' water for the first time in my boat on our michigan trip. cruising torch lake a couple hundred ft off shore wot in 8' to 13' of water chasing the boat's shadow, turn in to the interior and you're over 300' in no time.
not sure how deep our transducers will read, but pretty sure i saw 420's in east grand traverse bay.

No idea on depth. I don't have a transducer on my boat. Not anchored either, just floating. Nothing nearby to run into, super light winds, so we just let it drift. Water temp was around 72deg. Not warm enough to float and sit in for very long, but nice enough to stick our feet in. Boys would've been in it had they been with us.

We've been under the peace bridge and started to head up the east side of the Niagra, but didn't get far. Our boat is small and light and the current there is strong and tends to make the water super choppy. If we continue to be Lake Erie boaters we need something heavier/longer to get more time on the water.
