PUT-IN-BAY, OHIO Put-in-Bay is a sleepy village in early spring, but this year there are special vibes in the air around Lake Erie’s South Bass Island. While the popular tourism destination struggled last year because of Covid-19 and its restrictions, a positive attitude has permeated the many businesses as they prepare for the 2021 summer season.
CATAWBA ISLAND - Warm temperatures and good weather are the lifeblood of the Miller Boat Line.
Every 20 minutes in the summer ferries full of vehicles and families looking to explore or grab dinner and a drink fill the Miller ferry as it crashes against rocking waves as it heads to South Bass Island.
Thanks to some late spring-like temperatures, mostly hovering around 60 degrees this week, Friday s start to the Miller Boat Line season is perfect timing as trips to Middle Bass Island will resume for the service beginning March 26.
But a busy spring and summer in 2021 would be a stark contrast to 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic threw a wrench into plans for another popular season for the Miller Boat Line and Jet Express.
