Also a nice runway on north bass island, 1800 ft, but with easy
approaches over the water. Nothing commercial there. The one on Middle
Bass is new, not the old one near the winery. Winery down by the dock is
closed and being turned into a state park. All the islands are
fascinating places to visit. Pelee island in Canada is also great for
walking around. Very nice winery there.
To complete the grand tour, check out Kelley's island - nice and quiet
but with a few resturants. Most folks fly to South Bass (Put-In-Bay),
but the landing fee of $10 and lots of traffic is something of a put-off.

Our route was across Lake Erie. There is a chain of island between Port
Clinton and Point Pelee, and it is easy to stay within gliding distance by
choosing that route.



Right. There is a runway on the South island, and the middle island. Be
careful, when landing on the middle island. There is a pedestrian walkway
across the middle of the runway. There are usually drunks walking in one of
the directions. (after visiting the winery, thereg) Don't ask me how I
know that.! Oh, and to add, I was always sailing, not flying. :-))
