We arrived at Little Sodus Bay around 4pm and started down the channel. There was concern the channel was not very deep, even though the bay has lots of deep water. We watched the dept sounder all the way and the shallowest point was 7'3" and that was in a dip of one of those rolling waves. Once inside the bay the water was deep and quite, no more rollies. We draw 5' so no problem for us but we have Chasseur with Terry and Suzanne following us in a day or two and they draw 6'5" and we were charting the way for them
Fair Haven Marina is right inside the West Bar Barrier. They have a club house with full kitchen that I quickly made use of. Last night we had a roast and this morning (Wednesday) I made scones. The joys of cooking and not moving :) while juggling hot pans.
It is wonderful to be in quite setting like this after Rochester. There are no loud off key bands, grinding machinery, or loud boats. We can hear the crickets at night and the birds in the morning.
We are snug to the dock when the rain storms came through and could enjoy falling asleep to the gentle patter of drops on the deck.

The Bluffs were formed from drumlins, which in turn
were created by glaciers in the last ice age. The erosive power
of wind, rain, snow, and waves—both from above and below—has formed the
landscape into razor-sharp pinnacles. Although the impressive pinnacles and
cliffs, some of which rise up to 150 feet from the lake shore, have existed
throughout recorded history, they present a changing panorama: the average
erosion of bluffs is 1 to 5 feet per year.

| Notice the wench handle. this is the high end of a roll from a wave |
 |
| this is the low end- and they come one after the other. Look closely at the water and you can see the next one on its way towards us |
