Friday Bike ride

riday bike ride
Set off this morning to scout out a route for my sister Dorothy (the voice from Dobbs Ferry NY) and me to walk on Sunday. She wants to do about 8 miles so I mapped out a circumnavigation of the island. The bike paths are great. There is good sidewalk or bike path everywhere. It will be an easy walk with good views of the water most of the time.
Saw them cleaning, grading the beach morning. This is an interesting operation that involves running a rake along the beach and picking up the sea grass that has washed up. It leaves nicely graded beach without foot prints.
Around the north east corner and along the northern shore. This used to be house boat row with lots of houseboats moored along the beach. They were run off and now you find the houseboats moored at the public docks. You can see some of the most sophisticated in the shots from todays ride. (next post)
Perhaps the most remarkable thing was the Shell Car but it gets its on entry, so read on.
Dorothy and Jeff arrive this afternoon. That will be fun. We plan to take them to the Tiki bar then break them in easily at the beach cafe to give them a quiet introduction. Betsy and Ed arrive on Sat and then the games should really begin.
