The Hummingbird!
20 July 2012 | Montague Harbor
Walt/Partly sunny
Friday arrives and we start the day with a little rain. Last night was a bit blustery as a low front moved in. We spent the AM catching up on boat chores and was ready when the clouds broke so we took a hike around the island enjoying the beaches and sites. Found a little beach glass for our collection, but nothing special. I was told not to write about it, but Nancie performed a 9.9 dive into a slippery, muddy little spot near the beach. No damage except for pride, dirty jeans and maybe a sore spot or two!
The highlight of the day was the trip to the Hummingbird Pub on the Pub Bus. Every hour in the evening the pub bus makes a round trip of about 10 miles from the park/marina to the pub. Unfortunately, the very old antique bus has given up the ghost and a newer model (35 yrs old?) has replaced it. However the old 8-track music player and wood encased speakers were retained and we were once again serenaded by Fats Domino as we bounced along the winding road. Nice burgers were heartily consumed by both of us, not to mention some local brew.
We plan to head over to the Ganges farmer’s market in the AM to see what local goodies we can find.
