After passing by this lighthouse on our many trips to the hardware store, we decided it was time to stop and have a closer look. We enjoyed the stroll through the park, even though the buildings were closed. The sky was blue and there was a pleasant breeze off the waters of Lake Erie. What a lovely day to take a walk along the pathways and enjoy a day along the shore.
We take a trip to Marblehead Lighthouse State Park on the shore of Lake Erie. It is a beautiful park showcasing the oldest operational lighthouse on the shores of Lake Erie. Located outside of the town of Marblehead, Ohio.

When applying bottom paint you want to have the right tools and equipment for the job. Included in the list is gloves that make the job less messy. A head covering like a disposable hat is a good choice. Time is of the essence to get a good bottom paint applied. That is why you want everything organized and ready to go as soon as you open the container of paint. Ladders should be at the ready to reach areas where you can not reach from the ground. Scaffolding is a nice addition if you are not able to reach large areas. Michael likes ablative paint to help maintain a clean bottom. Be prepared to get hot and sweaty and dirty, not only from the paint but from the environment as well.
Michael did all the work on the wire and I was the "go-fer". Check out the YouTube video below to see just how he did the work. Michael working on the wiring of our new shore power cord. The old wire was damaged and needed to be replaced. It took us the better part of a day to remove the old wire and replace it with the new wire. Patience, as with all things having to do with a boat, was required.
