Point Abino - Crystal Beach - Buffalo Yacht Club
We left Dunnville in light fog on September 14th, passed Port Maitland, Port Colborne and anchored off Crystal Beach in 6 feet of sand in Point Abino Bay.
The bay is home to the Buffalo Yacht Club, some at docks, but many on mooring balls. Approximately 20 of the very large fleet in the bay treated us to a show that evening as they had a race under-way.
We are uncertain as to why the Buffalo Yacht Club has a base in Point Abino Bay, considering it's 8 miles from their home club location in Buffalo, not to mention across the border. Obviously it's a good location to sail and moor.
We spent a quiet night (albeit buggy - small aphid type), very sheltered from the NE 10 knot wind. It has amazed us how easy it has been to find sheltered, safe areas to anchor out during our travels through Lake Huron and Lake Erie.
