Saturday August 18th, Sunday August 19th


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 cafĂ© 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.
