Laura and Rick joined us in the morning at Rouses point and
we loaded 6 bikes and people into 2 cars and headed for North Hero, one of Lake
Champlain’s many islands, for a bike ride.
It was a beautiful day for a bike ride, we continued on to Grand Isle,
Ron and Laura got into a little speed contest and the group became spread
out. The leaders stopped at a likely
looking café for lunch and waited for the tail enders to catch up, and waited
and waited, and waited … We backtracked
and found Marc waiting for Dee. Cell
phone coverage was not good and we couldn’t contact her so we backtracked a
little more. Long story short, Dee had
seen a group of cyclists ahead of her make a left turn and, assuming it was us,
followed them. The good news was that we
were on a small Island with not too many roads, and we eventually all met up
again. We headed off for North Hero
for lunch and then returned to the boat by car.
After showers we partook of the marina’s lobster dinner party, and
learned that they know a lot more about lobsters in Maine than they do here –
they were all overcooked and mushy. The
BYOB was good though and the cake wasn’t bad. On Sunday, we had breakfast, and sat around on
the trampoline in beautiful weather to decide what to do. Rick gave Ron some fishing tips, and before
long it was lunchtime so we ate on the tramp.
Our guests left around 4pm having spent an uncharacteristically lazy
day.
