 We had hoped to checkout the old research center that is currently being renovated, but the wind and waves out of the south make is nearly impossible to tied up to the dock or beach the dinghies. We had back to Williams Bay and meet up with a bunch of kayakers, from Michigan, out for a few days. We do a short hike over to the ocean side. I am amazed how much stuff they have in their kayaks. I would not want to be camping on beaches and only having water to drink. Last time here we meet a young woman kayak camping by herself who was covered in sand flea bites. We invited her to stay on our boat for the night and treated her to dinner and a shower and respite from the bugs for the night. Linda had a cream for her bug bites.

Before we head back to the boat we meet Bev and Allan on a Sabre sailboat. They are from Montreal and kept their boat at Mooney Bay on the New York side of Lake Champlain. We were just a few days ahead of them heading south from Lake Champlain.

In the evening Alian and Diane come to our boat for happy hour.
