Today was a sleep in day and a down day. We decided not to travel besides it was our first day of bad weather. It had rained during the night and off and on all day. Temp was warm though.

On our second last trip to Costa Rica we met a couple from the Albany area. We told them of our plans to travel south with the boat and they told us when we were in the Erie Canal call them and we would get together. Well we did! They picked us up at the boat, took us to their house for lunch, offered us use of their laundry facilities, took us shopping and then invited us to stay for dinner. How could we refuse? The least we could do was ask them to come aboard for an evening drink which they accepted when they dropped us off. We talked about our and their travels since our meeting in Costa Rica and made tentative plans to maybe hook up in Puerto Rico this winter. Thank you Janyce and Steve for a wonderful day! Your warmth and hospitality were greatly appreciated.

Janyce, Steve and Kim.
