Saturday was a quieter day. We relaxed at home, went into town for a few things, and took the kayak out on the lake.

We woke up to flat tires on Joel’s bike, again *sigh*. We had already taken the bike in three times for flat tires and a broken brake and they exchanged it for another. I think we are just getting the same unrepaired bikes over and over, and it is inconvenient to have to pump up tires every morning and run back into town. So, we decided to turn the bike back in and try another establishment. Harinton Willy is also on the Main Street and was happy to fix Joel up with a nice bike, so hopefully we won’t have any more problems.

After doing what we needed to do in town we thought it would be a good day to take out the kayak. It was a bit overcast but calm, and very pleasant on the water. I am always surprised at how warm the water is.  It must be in the mid eighties.

We take the kayak out on the lake, and enjoy the view of the volcano

Look closely and you can see both volcanos. The second one is on the right peeking out among the tree tops.

We paddled past these guys in the water and when we got closer, we could see they were working with a fishing net

They were slowly pulling the net back into the boat, occasionally stopping to pull out a fish and toss it in the boat.

We could see a bit of rain in the distance

As we paddled back the volcano was developing a cloud hat

Of course since we are on the west side of the island, chances are we are going to have a beautiful sunset! I took the dog for a walk but still managed to see quite a bit of it as we made the rounds of the neighborhood.

After the kayak I took the dog for a walk, but I managed to get a peek at the sunset between the trees.
