Had a great beat to Platsburgh, NY, 44° 41.68N 73° 26.51W, in winds from 8 knots to 15 knots
- perfect. We docked, got our bikes out
and headed for the local bike shop where we bought a new tyre and tube for
Ron’s bike and got him rolling again.
Went back to the marina, had showers in a pretty grubby facility which
was disappointing because this was the most expensive place we have stayed all
season. We cycled to the Platsburgh/South
Hero ferry, crossed back to VT and cycled to the Snow Farm Winery where they
had wine tasting and a concert. The
band, we forget the name, was very good.
It tried to rain a little but didn’t really succeed, so all in all a
very nice evening. By the time we cycled
back via the ferry again we had clocked 20+ miles. When we got back to the boat, we discovered
that the marina bar seems to be the local pick up joint. Sitting on the boat now at 11:11pm wondering
how long the “music” will continue. Are
we getting old?
