Thursday August 23rd


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?
