Second "Grand" Day


We decided to stay a second day. Made a wonderful breakfast on the boat and we relaxed for a bit. Don got his USA Today fix so he was fine. We needed a few things for the boat so Don got the bikes ready but when he was putting on the baskets he dropped one into the water by the side of the boat. The basket also had our chain lock in it.... He and the Looper on the boat beside us jimmy rigged some poles and hooks and by a stroke of luck he managed to hook the handles of the basket and also by luck the chain was still inside. We rode our bikes to the West Marine on their boardwalk bike path which took us everywhere. We needed a new life ring which Don brought back to the boat. One more thing off the check list of things to buy.... Went to see the US Boarder Protection people at the Coast Guard Station to check on how we register our movements in Michigan. They were very helpful, but as we have found that really no one really knows. We have never got the same answer from anyone. After that we went for another long bike ride. It is a safe city to ride your bikes in. Stopped for a beer and then back to boat. The weather has been nice, around mid 80's and cool nites. The city has lots of sculptures around the town. This one was down on the boardwalk by the boat. We decided to go back and have a beer at The Kirby. It has been warm and humid, so a nice cold beer or two worked wonders. Ordered some nachos to nibble on, (would not advise ordering them, 4 out of 10 on our rating system) Back at the boat Don just wanted to read the paper so I worked on this ---- blog. For all of you bloggers out there my hat goes off to you'al bvecause it is alot of work. Came back to the boat and picked up the bikes and went for a ride. That nite as the nite before they do a lite and water show across the river. This time I put the camera on the tri-pod and videoed it. It came out not to bad. We have certainly enjoyed the shows.... A nip cap them off to bed.....
