Finally we decided to get rid of our old faithful frying pan, just too much Teflon coming off. Sad, but all good things must come to an end.
We went up the much vaunted hill out of the campsite with no trouble, gears, legs and lungs working in unison like a Greek chorus.
Once on top of the ridge it was relatively easy biking through mostly trees and rocks and water, with the occasional cow and bale of hay. It was perfect weather for biking, fairly strong tail breeze and we were soon in South Baymouth with 3hours to kill before we could sail on the ferry. We did what all good cyclists do when there is no defined plan; we went and got ourselves fed. Later we tried the Internet in the terminal, but it was really sloooow. We have a succession of places where this is true, and it makes adding photos to the blog a really tedious affair. That was a thinly veiled excuse!
The crossing was uneventful, no shipwrecks and nobody drowned, in fact nothing to laugh at at all. We did spend some enjoyable time with the Gambles and the Whitney’s from the Owen Sound area. They were retired farmers catching up for lost holidays now that the farm was in the good hands of their sons.
Once off the boat the clouds cleared and we had a very nice evening doing the 30km to Miller Lake where we got ripped off for camping at Miller Family Campground. The facilities there were not up to the price we were charged, especially as just 2km further up highway 26 there is a camp right by the side of the road. The site was quite good though. Ron was in bed by 7:30pm absolutely shattered.

I think that’s all the news that’s fit to blog.
Night, night.
