Tues, Wed. Aug 15-16. Heading to Sackets Harbor



Tues, Wed. Aug 15-16.  Heading to Sackets Harbor
 We entered Lake Ontario the fourth of the Great Lakes which we have boated in. The big open water was welcoming and a familiar sight. The easy run was passed Wolf Island and Cape Vincent.  Ride was a little bouncy until the route turned. Sackets Harbour is a small town with a small friendly marina. Riding the bikes in the late afternoon allowed us to explore the small business district, quiet residential area, and still enjoy a cocktail at Tin Pan Galley -the most popular restaurant in town. We opted for casual fair-pizza and wings-at the local pub Anchor-delicious. Tom and John gobbled it down but still had leftovers for breakfast
Wednesday morning we went into town for a gourmet breakfast at Tin Pan Galley-delicious- Eggs Benedict and Creme Brulé French toast.  There is an 1812 Battlefield in town right on the water which we rode the bikes thru, then continued on the bike path on the outskirts of town.  Once back in town, the girls did some shopping and the boys found a hardware store.  The remainder of the day was used for laundry and small projects.  After dinner, a walk into town for ice cream and a nightcap, the bed swallowed us up.

The battlefield, it looks so peaceful now
