Remarkably calm this morning. First day since we've been here that it didn't blow like crazy.
Paddled to the village dock. Roy went to the phone and called the guy at the electronics place. The Sumlog part had arrived, and he expected the switch cover around noon, so he asked Roy to call him back at 12:30.
Roy and I paddled around the nearby coves, enjoying the scenery. At noon, Roy returned to the dock to phone the electronics guy. I paddled a little more and then went in, too. The switch cover had arrived, and the man drove over with the parts. Roy was very pleased. At long last, he can repair the Sumlog.
Roy wanted to get his hair cut, so we walked to a barber shop in Kittery. A young woman cut his hair very quickly. Did a good job.
We continued walking to Portsmouth. Saw them raising and lowering the bridge, just after we'd crossed it. Went to the bus stop in town and boarded a bus half a minute before it took off. Went way out in the country. Came to a shopping center where there were several restaurants and fast-food places, so we got off. Four or five ambulances went tearing by with sirens screaming, so we figured there had been a major accident on the highway.
We went to a Friendly's Restaurant and ate delicious turkey sandwiches. I wanted a hot fudge sundae for dessert, but we thought there wasn't enough time. The bus back was due in ten minutes. If we missed that one, it would be a two-hour wait for the next, so we hurried over to the bus stop. As it turned out, I would have had time to eat a dozen sundaes; the bus was delayed by the accident and got there half an hour late.
Reached Portsmouth around six. Walked back to Kittery Point and got to the boat by 7:30, so it was still daylight. Ate a light supper of corn on the cob and chicken.
