We had a nice kayak up and down the Pine River and through the harbor. When we returned we had some more hot tea and cereal and watched a bit of Fox News. Unfortunately is was so hot and humid that neither of us wanted to do much outside. So, it was a good day to defrost the refrigerator, which is what we did. I would have liked to have walked downtown, but just could not get motivated to do so because of the heat. Kerry was a no go for sure.
Leftover pizza was lunch. After that I read for a while and Kerry worked on her Army memoirs. She has been working on them for most of this trip, and has 17 pages in a Word document. All of a sudden, she asks me to find her document. It is gone. I could not recover it. I went on the internet for help, but nothing suggested worked. We called the two most knowledgeable people we knew for help, Doug Gromley and our son in law Nate, but they were stumped. I also called a company that had fixed this computer earlier this year. John there had good ideas to try and find a previous version, but nothing worked. We agreed I would take this PC to him when we get home next week. Who knows what happened. She remembers saying yes to a question asking if she wanted to save changes. As you can imagine, Kerry is really disappointed, bummed and has a headache. I do not blame her, and really wish there was something I could do to fix it. She is really ready to get home now, but says she is going to start the project over. She wants to do it so Anne has a history of her Army career. Unfortunately, this is putting a negative ending to our otherwise wonderful cruise.
We plan to catch the 8:00 bridge tomorrow, the earliest one. It's about 70 miles I think to Boblo Island, but I should be able to average 9-10 knots with the favorable current, so it will be quicker than most 70 mile trips, although going down a river requires constant attention and navigation. We plan to stay 2 nights in Boblo and motor to Vermilion on Sunday. Lake Erie weather could change our plans of course. My Good Friend Rosemary has agreed to pick us up if we make it back on Sunday.

Kerry asked if we were going out to dinner tonight. I said we would do whatever she wanted to do as I imagined she was in a volatile mood. At least she laughed at that.
Kerry took a big nap and woke up refreshed. She even started her military memoirs over again. I was impressed at how she bounced back. At Nate's suggestion, she is doing it in Google Docs, so there will be no chance of losing her work again.
She did not want to go out for dinner. We decided to have Jola's egg plant parmesan which Jim and I did not finish when he was here. It was excellent - thanks Jola! But before that she wanted an appetizer tray of smoked clams, crackers, nuts and cheese. She got what she wanted, plus a nice glass of jug wine.
We walked to town after dinner. It was still warm but the humidity has dropped a bit after some rain showers passed through. I treated Kerry to ice cream. Would you believe we got stopped by the 8:00 bridge? We did. In 12 hours we will be causing the traffic to stop.
