Aug 31st

We went grocery shopping for dinner – we cooked for Diane, her father-in-law John and her neighbor Karen.  We cooked fresh haddock – the best white fish in my opinion and it was wonderful.  Found some Mobil1 15W-50 at a NAPA store – seems like WalMart has quit carrying it.  Had a couple of cups of cold-brewed iced coffee – for us, a new way of preparing coffee – delicious.  We will try to learn more about how to do that.

After we got home we went for a swim but the water was way too cold for Carol and me.  I know that, being a long way from the open ocean, the water is as warm as ocean water gets in New England but it was way too cold for me.  After jumping in and then out of the water we decided that another kayak ride was in order.  This time I did much better.  It turns out that the kayak has a rudder that I didn’t use on the first try.  It is much easier with a rudder – fun.

Packing to leave for Quebec in the morning.  We hope to be on our way by 9:00am.
