Friday – Day 63 – 10/3/08

Today wasn’t very pleasant until early in the afternoon when it stopped raining and the sun came out. I have noticed that my bones rattle when it’s cold and damp! The fall season is definitely with us as the temperature continues to drop.

A bright spot in the day was when Tom and Doris Burdick dropped in for a visit. We had a great visit then went out to dinner some distance away from the boat. Other than our time in Ohio, that’s the first time in over a month that we’ve been in a car and away from water! Dinner was very good and during dinner we sat at a table next to a fireplace! Barb and I looked at each other and said - it’s time to break camp – put the boat in storage and get home to our own fireplace.

Tomorrow is looking good to get out of here and move north to where the lake widens, about 40 miles from here. Up to that point were protected from the wind which is now slowing down. Sunday should be a great day on the open water so we intend to slowly cruise north to Burlington and enjoy the colors prior to turning our boat over to the shipyard.
