Saturday November 15, Dog River Marina to Eastern Shore Marina. 

With the sun shining brightly and the boat running well, we decided to go across the bay to Eastern Shore Marina.  It is closer to the Florida intercoastal water way and we would once again meet up with Simpatico.  The ride across was smooth and straight.  After settling in and saying hi to friends, we unloaded the bikes and decided to head into town. It was about 3 ½ miles away and as we discovered, 3 large hills also.  One of these hills was so steep; we ended up pushing the bikes the end of the way up.  Town is a nice place, with a large library, many shops and a good stop for ice cream.  No matter how cool it is, there is always room for ice cream.  The ride back was much easier even though there were once again three hills.  I do not know how that happens.  The evening was very relaxing with soup for dinner, reading and computer work in the comfort of our floating home.
