Today we spent the morning riding our bikes to Miner's Castle, about 22 miles total.  The ride was hilly and challenging at times but well worth the ride.  It was nice to stretch our legs and see the scenery from land.  In a short while we will be casting off and going back to Grand portal point and anchor off near the beach.  We will try some kayaking and Bob will attempt to go fishing again.  Maybe we will have fish tonight.  I have no pictures yet as we did not take a camera with us.  Last night we listened to a local group of musicians who were jamming in the local book store.  I will write more as we do more today.  We may even have pictures. We arrived at Chapel Beach late in the afternoon.  We would love to have played on our kayaks and such but the rain came down fast and furious.  Also... our engine was screeching at us the entire drive back to Chapel Beach,  something to do with the alternator but it was charging just fine according to Bob.  I think he has yanked the wiring.
