Today I took my bicycle ride around Presque Isle State Park. I left from my house and rode down the hill to the park. The round trip is nearly 17 miles. For the first time all summer I had to wear a light jacket. It was cool with an Easterly breeze. When I reached the 5.5 mile marker on the all purpose trail I looked to my right and saw the Flagship Niagara sailing with about half of her sails open. The Niagara was heading towards the channel that separates the Presque Isle Bay from Lake Erie. I was getting near the turn off to the channel so I started to ride fast. The trail took me away from the Niagara's sight but I knew she was out there. As I rode up to the channel I saw the brig heading out to the East on Erie. I missed her but I didn't miss her majestic sight. It was nearly 200 years ago that the Brig Niagara helped Oliver Hazard Perry defeat the British in the Battle of Lake Erie during the war of 1812. I came home and walked down to the beach for a walk and to enjoy the bright sun. By now I could remove the jacket, shirt and T shirt. I looked for the brig but she didn't venture to the West. Not a sight that I see everyday. It was truly a glorious day.  it's Bob |
