On our way to John and Diane's and it's been raining all morning, the first rain we've had since the start of our trip except for a light shower as we slept one night.
Question of the day: How do you get out and about when you are anchored? Taxi? Rental bikes?
A: Fortunately, we like to walk a lot, but we'll probably employ nearly all possible means of transportation before the end of this trip. We have a dinghy and motor, which we use to get to shore when we're anchored. Last night we were anchored at Put-In-Bay and took a water taxi in to shore. We could have rented golf carts, bikes, or mopeds to zip around the island, had we been so inclined, but it felt good to walk. Besides, walking was faster - the streets were jammed with golf carts lined up bumper to bumper.
We didn't realize at the time how lucky we were that there was no room for us at the dock or moorings - we could have ended up in the middle of a huge party whether we wanted to or not. Instead, we were anchored a fair distance away, but not so far that we didn't feel a part of the action :)
I can only imagine that walking felt good! Is there anything on the boat that you can do for exercise? And is that typical to see all those golf carts?! I take it those would do a decent job of hauling your groceries.
ReplyDeleteWell, Tracy, we do have exercise dvds and hand weights. And we would actually get some exercise, if only we'd use them. I keep telling myself, we're still trying to get into a routine, then we'll exercise.
ReplyDeleteYes, the golf carts (also mopeds and bikes) are how tourists get around, since they all arrive by boat and don't have cars. They would be a great way of hauling groceries, but we had John and Diane to haul ours (see next blog entry).
