First up…Environmental Studies.

Of course we know that the “Back to School’ season will soon be upon us, but long before that happens the kids can get quite an education just by getting some fresh air and interacting with nature. How about aquatic studies say in a nice refreshing lake?

Our uniform policy means causal dress and no shoes required…

Everyone will be stuck indoors soon enough, so why not get outside and load up on the sunshine while it lasts. Now is the time to make some lasting memories with family and friends.

It’s always recess at your home-port…

So don’t be in a hurry to let this…

Turn into this…

Class dismissed….

With a hot and sunny 4th of July Wednesday already making this a great week, we now look forward to this slight cool down before the Summer temps return for the weekend. In the meantime, our staff here at Romp’s Lake Erie Marina has sent us some pictures taken this week to make sure you don’t get left dockside.

First up Jeff sent us this awesome sunset…

From the picture is worth a thousand words dept:

Then, as if not to be outdone, Kyle has sent us this pic of the boat lights in rriver traffic taken at night using still photography. Begging the question how did they go that fast without making a wake?

Happy Birthday America, you look great for any age; to the greatest country on earth we salute you. Freedom and Independence built this country and we hope you get a chance to enjoy a day of both here at your home-port this holiday!

Celebrate with a bang…

And although Vermilion has already had its fireworks season during the Fish Festival, there will be more from nearby Huron or Cedar Point for you to view if traveling on the water this weekend. All we need is some favorable lake conditions. On another quick note, Vermilion Road has re-opened for travel to and from your family fun marina, and just in time for the busy holiday.

Important Safety Notice:

As we all know the marina if full of boats that are also full of gasoline, our environment is not suited for any type of fireworks. So we ask that for the safety of all of our Captain’s, Crew, Guests and their property; that fireworks on Romp’s Property are strictly prohibited.
