Hop-o-Nose, Visitors

Nate, Ron, Ginny, Linda

We wake up to a rainy and windy day, not a day for putting up the mast. Linda is very happy to see the bathrooms have greatly improved in their cleanliness. My college roommate Ron, his wife Ginny and visiting son, Nate (an engineer who lives in Prague, Czech Republic) drive over from Connecticut to have lunch with us at Creekside. On the return on our first trip to the Bahamas, we picked Ron up at New York City and he did the trip up the Hudson to Whitehall with us. So he is familiar with “Hop-o-Nose” Creekside restaurant. After lunch, they give us a quick trip to the Supermarket to pick up some Yuengling Black & Tan, one of my favor beers not available in Vermont.

After they leave I get a late afternoon nap and Linda watches TV. We then go for a walk and return to dinner at of course Creekside, splitting a Quesadilla and desert. After dinner we go over to Dave & Leslie’s boat, with their traveling friends Chris & Mary on a Niagara “Encore” and discuss some pertinent information on traveling south on the ICW, new to first-timers. I later email them pointers to information that we have found valuable.
