Today it was foggy early in the morning but by mid morning it was a beautiful sunny day. The only problem was that Mary Kay was still feeling very weak. We decided to ride the bicycles to the U-Haul rental location and if Mary Kay did not feel up to riding Jim and Mary Kay would rent another U-Haul and drive to our next motel while George, Jane, Scott and Barbara all rode their bicycles. Since we were renting a U-Haul truck, we hauled allof their luggage in the truck.

Jim and Mary Kay continued in the U-Haul truck and arrived at the motel in time to drop everyone's luggage before we returned the truck. We then cycled the 4+ miles back to the motel. All in all Jim and Mary Kay only cycled 6.6 miles today, and we were back from lunch by 1:00. The rest of them cycled 63 miles and enjoyed the ferry ride. However, they did not get to the motel until 6:00 PM. We ate at a Waffle House restaurant and it was not the best food.
