headed out for an early morning bike rideon the lovely trails. We
passed through a shady old hammock before reaching a pine forest. The
smell of pine was heavy and mixed with smoke. The rangers were in the
middle of a controlled burn and we could see a few small flames in the
distance. Coleen's poor bike rattled along sounding like it would fall
apart any minute. She had blue tape on the handlebar grips as they
were all gummy with age. We're sure hoping Santa brings this child a
new bike.
After our ride we readied the boat and cast off the docklines.. Yet
another uneventful departure due to my first mate. We had a pleasant
20 mile trip. Coleen had the helm for about an hour while I made
lunch and took a break. She wisely called me up to check markers a
couple of times.
We anchored in a lovely cove about 3 pm. For some reason I can't
fathom I had issues with my blood pressure all evening and felt
horrible. Unpleasant ending to an otherwise awesome day..
