Mark's Birthday!

A great day. Bicycled together early morning along Chatauqua Lake at Bemus Point. Along the way we found a place that rents a Laser Pico sailboat. So we went sailing! What a trill to sail again on a lake I sailed 30 years ago and share the sailing experience with Julie. We had a great time with good wind and occasionally exhiliarating wind! Lunch at a waterfront restaurant where we watched a floatplane land. Then eastward. One bummer... A mounting bolt for the air conditioning came loose and dropped off completely. My decision was to cut off the belt to avoid calamity of the loose compressor snagging the fan blade. Due to logistics we might be finishing the journey without A/C. All part of the adventure, right! Oh that cold air has felt so good. Still, this has been a great birthday. We're finishing the day at Simeon's in downtown Ithaca, NY for a late dinner. On to Maine tomorrow.
